Erasmus+ Mundus Joint Master Degree programme in Clinical Linguistics (EMCL++) is an integrated two-year Master's programme offered jointly by a consortium of the University of Groningen, Ghent University and the University of Eastern Finland and 15 associated partners from the academic, R&D, and clinical sector. It is a full-time interdisciplinary and transnational programme, providing integrated training in neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and clinical linguistics.
The aim of EMCL++ is to train highly qualified and advanced students who are excellently prepared for wide employability, by the unique combination of research training and an internship with an academic, R&D in neurotechnology, or clinical component. This is a prerequisite for interdisciplinary research in the fields of neurolinguistics and clinical linguistics and it shapes practitioners with a solid theoretical and experimental approach.
The regular study period is 24 months. It consists of four semesters: three teaching semesters and a fourth semester to finish the internship and Master's thesis.
