The University of Oslo (UiO), Norway’s oldest university and one of its
largest, with the highest number of language subjects and students in
language and linguistics, is now accepting international applications
for its Master’s programme in Linguistics. The two-year master’s
programme in linguistics at the University of Oslo specializes in
general linguistics, covering a variety of theoretical orientations, and
including foci on typology, theoretical syntax, formal semantics and
pragmatics, experimental phonetics and phonology, language contact and
language change (historical linguistics). Methodologically, it
incorporates a range of different approaches, including fieldwork and
elicitation techniques, language documentation, linguistic anthropology,
psycholinguistic experimentation, and corpus linguistics. The department
has also recently established a research group on ‘super linguistics’,
the application of linguistic methodology to objects of study beyond
natural language (including gestures, emoji, and dance). Regional foci
of research within the department include the Pacific region, the Indian
subcontinent, Ethiopia, the languages of Scandinavia, and languages of
North America; students are particularly encouraged to carry out
projects that combine theoretical questions with empirical data, as well
as projects that involve the theoretical analysis of lesser-described
languages. The master’s programme in linguistics is hosted at the
University of Oslo’s Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies,
which is host to two state-of-the-art labs, the Text Laboratory
(<https://www.hf.uio.no/iln/english/about/organization/text-laboratory/>),
which hosts corpora and databases, and the Socio-Cognitive Laboratory
(<https://www.hf.uio.no/multiling/english/topics/lab/>), with a video
studio, an EEG room, and an eye-tracking room.
Students will receive a solid background in general linguistics, and
will be educated by an international faculty, holding PhD degrees from
top universities in the USA and Europe, including Norway, who maintain
active networks with researchers around the world, which will enable
students to start building an international network in linguistics while
carrying out their own independent research project. The University of
Oslo has also established high-profile exchange agreements that will
enable students to spend a semester abroad if they wish to do so during
their MA studies. The training will equip students for pursuing a PhD
position, or for entering the job market both in the public sector and
in private industry (language technology). Recent graduates of our MA in
Linguistics have, amongst other career paths, continued with PhD studies
at prestigious universities in the USA and Europe (including Norway),
and worked as language consultants for the HBO series “Beforeigners”.
*Entry profile: *Applicants must have completed an in-depth study of at
least 80 ECTS within linguistics (including a minimum of 40 ECTS in core
areas such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics or
pragmatics). For details on which courses will qualify you for
