Description Requirements

The Research Master's programme in Language and Communication is a two-year course of study offered jointly by Radboud University Nijmegen and Tilburg University. Both universities combine leading-edge research with excellent education. This programme, with its strong emphasis on empirical study, is unique in the Netherlands. The programme covers the numerous ways in which written and spoken language is used - for example, to persuade, inform, and exchange ideas. Because communication and the use of language are so tightly interwoven, we take an integrated approach. For example, when other, non-verbal cues are taken into account, understanding spoken language is made easier. Such cues may include facial expressions and eye contact. The interrelationships between language and communication have been further illuminated by developments in information and communication technology. These have opened up exciting new areas of research, for example providing insight into ways in which information from both linguistic and non-linguistic sources can be integrated in multimodal messages.
