Master's Programme in Languages - Turkic Languages

In the Master's Programme in Languages, you choose to deepen your knowledge in one or more main areas of the wide domains taught at an advanced level within the Faculty of Languages at Uppsala University: Language, Linguistics, Literature and more. Courses from other faculties can also be included in the degree for further specialisation. During the programme, a work-oriented seminar series along with study visits is organised for students in all the specialisations within the programme. The programme develops your competence in the whole language family and furthers your advanced knowledge of Turkic linguistics and philology. You will be a part of an international environment with peers from diverse backgrounds. The programme’s curriculum encompasses various classical branches of Turcology: philological analysis of historical sources, codicology and critical edition, historical-comparative linguistics with reconstruction and etymological studies, linguistic investigation of various phenomena including phonology, morphosyntax and multilingualism, dialectology and documentation of the modern Turkic languages. Additionally, the programme incorporates the use and application of modern digital tools in relation to corpora building and born-digital text editions. Your studies will give you direct insight into our ongoing projects and research activities. Upon completing the programme, you will have broad knowledge and academic skills in Turcology that qualify you for further academic studies, or for academic jobs at universities and research institutions. The language of instruction is English.
