Language-Mind-Technology

The MA programme in English Studies: Language-Mind-Technology is a two-year full-time programme designed for students with a passion for English language and literature, and a keen interest in exploring the intersection of language, mind, and technology.

The programme focuses on the study of language as a cognitive phenomenon, as well as the ways in which technology is changing the way we use and understand language. Students will explore the latest research in cognitive linguistics, neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and corpus linguistics, and learn how to apply this research to real-world problems in areas such as education, language teaching, and language technology.

The programme is taught entirely in English, and students will have the opportunity to work closely with experienced researchers and experts in the field of English language studies. They will also have access to cutting-edge research tools and technology, including eye-tracking devices, brain imaging equipment, and corpus analysis software.
