Description:
The Erasmus Mundus EMCL ('European Masters in Clinical Linguistics' ) course is a
15 month full-time interdisciplinary and transnational university programme at Masters level. It provides integrated training in theoretical and exerimental
neurosciences and psycholinguistics with clinical issues. The aim of the Masters
Course is to train highly qualified advanced students who are excellently prepared for research work and Ph.D. programmes in the above fields.
The transnational consortium comprises four universities: Groningen (NL), Joensuu (FI), Milano-Bicocca (IT) and Potsdam (DE). The programme consists of three terms: the core courses offered in the first term aim at providing the students with general knowledge about the fields mentioned above. During the second and third term, the students attend specialised courses. For the second term, students may choose to move from their first host university to another one, while all students meet at the University of Potsdam during the third term. To finish the programme successfully, the student writes a Masters thesis and attends a summer school or conference. All courses are taught in English.
The EMCL programme is part of the Erasmus Mundus initiative of the European Union, providing an Erasmus Mundus scholarship covering tuition fees ( euro 7,500.-), living and travelling costs for non-EU students admitted to the programme (amounting to a total of ? 29,000.-/scholarshi p). The EMCL-programme thus has a strong extra-European profile. Students from EU-countries may not apply for the Erasmus Mundus
scholarship, but pay a reduced tuition fee of 2,700.-. Applications from EU students
are highly welcome.
Requirement for application is at least three years of higher education (B.A., B.Sc. or equivalent) with an emphasis on linguistics, speech and language pathology, biomedical sciences, psychology or special education.
