Lund University offers you a unique opportunity to pursue advanced studies in languages and linguistics at Master´s level. The Centre for Languages and Literature offers students access to the most modern resources for research and education. You will meet and study together with students from 13 different fields of specialisation. Courses are taught in English or the language of your field of specialisation. As a Master´s student, you will have the possibility of receiving funding for a stay abroad to conduct research on your Master s thesis through grants available from the Birgit Rausing Language Programme.

The specialisation in Latin comprises Classical Latin, Medieval Latin and Neo-Latin. In Lund, we are particularly strong in Neo-Latin and a number of theses have been written in the field in recent years. The breadth in linguistics is guaranteed by a number of taught courses that can be taken by students of all specialisations. This year, for instance, courses are given in philosophy of science for linguists, semantics and lexicology, pragmatics, and textual analysis. They are given by specialists in the field in question. Those of you who specialise in Latin take a number of courses in Latin language and literature. It is desirable that the subject of the Master's thesis is defined at an early stage to enable you to select courses that will facilitate your work with the thesis.
