Erasmus Mundus EMCL (European Masters in Clinical Linguistics) programme:
invitation for student applications.
The Erasmus Mundus EMCL ('European Masters in Clinical Linguistics') course
is a 15 month full-time interdisciplinary and transnational university
programme at Masters level providing integrated training in theoretical and
experimental neurosciences and psycholinguistics with clinical issues. The
aim of the Masters Course is to train highly qualified advanced students who
are excellently prepared for research work and PhD-programmes in the above
fields.
The transnational consortium comprises four universities: Groningen
(NL), Joensuu (FI), Milano-Bicocca (IT) and Potsdam (DE). The
programme consists of three terms: the core courses offered in the
first term aim at providing the students with general knowledge about
the fields mentioned above. During the second and third term, the
students attend specialised courses. For the second term, students may
choose to move from their first host university to another one, while
all students meet at the University of Potsdam during the third
term. To finish the programme successfully, the student writes a
Masters thesis and attends a summer school or conference. All courses
are taught in English.
The programme recruits students worldwide. In order to encourage
application by students from non-European countries and thus give the
EMCL-programme a strong extra-European profile, non-European students
admitted to the programme will receive an Erasmus Mundus scholarship
covering tuition fees, living and travelling costs.
European students pay a reduced tuition fee and - pending acknowledgement
by the European Union - may receive a scholarship for spending part of the
programme at a non-European partner institution. The requirement for
admission is at least three years of higher education (BA, BSc or equivalent)
with an emphasis on speech and language pathology, linguistics, biomedical
sciences, psychology or special education.
We invite high profile students from all over the world to submit their
applications for participation in the 2007/08 course (which starts in
September 2007) until January 1, 2007 (application deadline). Admission and
mobility plan for each student are decided on at the annual meeting of the
Board of Studies at the end of January. Students will be informed in early
summer if their application was successful. For more detailed information on
Erasmus Mundus, the EMCL programme's aims, curriculum, admission
