Career opportunities

* in all fields requiring a university degree without specifications of majors
* in PhD programmes requiring a major specific degree

The aim of the specialisation track in English applied linguistics is to help students acquire linguistic knowledge for understanding how language is acquired and used in practice. The practical skills acquired in the programme are applicable in a variety of professions, while the familiarity with conducting research provides the foundation for further studies at PhD level.

Students who decide to choose the English theoretical linguistic track will become acquainted with the high level of analysis required in the fields of phonology, morphology, syntax, etymology and history of English (and other) language(s). Students will thus gain an insight into the minutiae of analysis of modern (and classical) schools of linguistics. There are also other specialisation tracks available with a wealth of opportunities for discovery and pursuance of ones interests.
