Description

The MA Linguistics offers students the possibility to exchange one elective for an individual project. With an individual project, depending on the interest of the student, a student can get hands-on experience working on a linguistics project together with a researcher from LUCL. This project can consist of doing an experiment in one of the LUCL labs, collecting and analyzing data, building a database, working with "big data", or doing fieldwork. Students are encouraged to put their linguistic knowledge into practice, and to contribute their own ideas to the project. Individual projects are made available by LUCL researchers and must be approved by the exam committee.
An external internship at an organization/institution in the field of linguistics is possible too. This is organized through the Leiden University Career Service.
