Taught in English at the University of Potsdam’s Linguistics department on the Bergholz-Rehbrücke campus, this research-focused Master’s programme emphasizes experimental and clinical approaches to language study. The curriculum places a strong emphasis on statistics and quantitative methods, combining core linguistic theory with interdisciplinary and hands-on experimental research. Its international orientation means you will work with diverse research questions and collaborators from different linguistic and clinical backgrounds.
Throughout the programme you will develop the ability to design and carry out empirical-experimental studies, critically appraise published research, and perform detailed statistical analyses of linguistic data. Training is geared toward interpreting scientific results rigorously and presenting evidence-based conclusions, preparing you to contribute to research projects at the intersection of linguistics, neuroscience, psychology, and clinical practice.
Key skills and competencies you will gain
All official details about course organisation and the programme structure are provided in the programme PDF linked on the original page. I don’t have access to that file from here, so I can’t extract or rephrase specific module names, credit allocations, or explicit learning outcomes until I can see the document itself.
Typically, the programme PDF will include a semester-by-semester breakdown (core and elective modules), ECTS/credit information, assessment methods, research and thesis requirements, and any practical or clinical placements. It should also list intended learning outcomes such as subject-specific knowledge, experimental and clinical research skills, data analysis competencies, and professional/communication abilities—however, I won’t assume or invent those for this particular programme without seeing the official text.
If you upload the PDF or paste the curriculum text (or provide a direct link), I will rewrite the curriculum summary in clear, engaging English, highlight the key modules and concrete learning outcomes, and present entry/assessment/degree requirements as concise bullet points. Tell me if you want the summary tailored for prospective international students (e.g., emphasizing language, clinical placement logistics, or research opportunities).
All formal academic admission requirements for this master's programme are published on the programme’s official admissions webpage. That page is the definitive and up‑to‑date source; please consult it before you apply so you know exactly which documents, qualifications and deadlines apply to your situation.
As an international applicant, make sure to read the detailed admissions information carefully and contact the programme’s admissions office or the international student advisory service if anything is unclear. The admissions page will also indicate how prior degrees are evaluated and whether certified translations or degree recognition procedures are needed.

Graduates are prepared for research-related roles and further academic study (including PhD programmes) where advanced empirical and statistical skills are required. The training in experimental design and data analysis is also applicable to research positions in universities, private research institutes and language-related technology companies.
The clinical and experimental training can support work in clinical, educational or assessment settings that involve language research or diagnostics, though specific professional or clinical certification requirements depend on national regulations and should be checked separately.
