Internship Linguistics

Course goals

The internship enables students to acquire hands-on experience with linguistics research in an ongoing project headed by a senior researcher. The aim is to practice research, academic and communicative skills the students have been equipped with during the RMA programme, and to prepare them for carrying out their own research in the RMA thesis. Therefore, the internship follows the electives, and precedes the thesis. The internship may but need not be directly connected to the student’s thesis, by providing, for instance, a pilot experiment or preliminary data/corpus collection that will be improved and further worked out/analyzed in the thesis or a critical evaluation of theoretical background.      

Content

Together with the thesis, the research master internship constitutes the individual trajectory of the student.

On the programme's website you will find all the steps you need to take to register for an internship (and receive EC for it), as well as the internship guide.
