Master Linguistics and Literary Studies at the University of Antwerp

Taught in English by specialists in the field, the programme combines the study of linguistics with that of literature in English. We offer a range of courses to choose from in the fields of both linguistics and literary studies.
There is only one requirement: you must take at least one linguistics course and one literature course. Literature topics include British women writers, the American historical novel after 1950, representations of New York in 20th century literature, the construction of age, and the work of James Joyce and Samuel Beckett. Linguistics courses focus on the use of English in different contexts, how it varies across time and space, and the changes this tends to trigger.

Master Linguistics and Literary Studies: Study Content

Most of the regular courses in our Master’s programme are conceived as interactive seminars with a high degree of student participation. Students are encouraged to improve their oral proficiency and public speaking skills by giving presentations (in group and individually) and engaging in group discussions. Likewise, students get plenty of opportunity to work on their writing skills by producing individual research papers. Students are closely monitored during one or several writing trajectories, which helps them grow as persuasive and engaging writers of academic texts in English.

 

Apart from regular courses, we offer a range of internships (both professional and scientific), and two internationally acclaimed summer schools: Children’s Literature and Digital Humanities. Taking part in one of the summer schools will not only earn you 6 ECTS credits (upon successful completion) and enable you to learn from the best in their field; it will also give you an opportunity to build or extend your own international network and enjoy a different way of learning during a highly intensive one-week course interspersed with social and cultural activities.

 

Assessment Methods

For most courses, a form of continuous assessment is used such as class participation, oral presentations and research papers.

 

Extracurricular Activities

During the Easter break, we organise a field trip to the UK or Ireland, which offers a good mix of leisure and culture and also presents a perfect opportunity to bond with your peers and teachers. The trip flies by as you go from one cultural encounter to another, making the obligatory stops at restaurants and pubs in between. Our local contacts make sure you have an unforgettable time during your stay.

 

Learning Outcomes

In the literature courses, you will acquire close reading skills that will allow you to deal with some of the most challenging authors of the 20th and 21st centuries. In the linguistics courses, you will gain insight into the social and cognitive dimensions of variation in English, learn to carry out your own corpus research and to report on the results.
In both fields, reading academic literature will familiarise you with leading literary and linguistic theories and teach you to use them in your primary text or data analysis. The courses will also teach you to put your reading and research into a broader contemporary sociocultural context.

 

More generally, the programme will enable you to develop your general academic skills (critical reading, scientific reporting), as well as your oral and written English proficiency and presentation skills in English. You will also refine your argumentative thinking by participating in seminar discussions and writing research papers.
