Overview
Programme overview
The Master's research specialisation in the Philosophy of Language and Logic focuses on the essence of language and the ways we use language to communicate and cooperate. This programme takes a multidisciplinary approach, and brings together insights and theories from philosophy, psychology, linguistics and social sciences.
This programme functions within the Centre for Contemporary Philosophy, meaning you will work alongside with and learn from experts in the field. You will also be able to take advantage of Radboud's extensive international network in finding research or internship opportunities.
What will you learn?
Gain a theoretical understanding in linguistics as well as philosophy
- Understand the methodological and ontological value of phenomenology and hermeneutics
- Get valuable experience in designing, conducting and presenting your own research
Career prospects
This programme has been designed for people with the ambition to do research. Graduates tend to fall into one of three groups:
- A majority of the students continue their research within academia by applying for a doctoral programme in the Netherlands or abroad. We take particular pride in the fact that more than 75 percent of our graduates manage to obtain a PhD position within two years of graduating.
- A second group goes on to teach philosophy at secondary schools.
- And a third group enter research-related professions outside of education.
