Course Description
Discover how language shapes our digital and global world. In the M.A. Linguistics: Digital, Applied, Structural (LiDAS), you combine theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience. You analyze language structures, investigate communicative processes using empirical methods, and work with digital tools. With flexible study paths and close ties to ongoing research, you qualify for roles spanning academia and professional practice.
LiDAS can also be pursued as the binational double degree program Linguistics: Digital, Applied, Structural – Sciences du Langage (LiDAS-SDL) with an integrated study abroad component. You spend one or two semesters at the Université d'Orléans and earn a German-French double degree.
This program is designed for bachelor's graduates with a background in linguistics or related disciplines (e.g., German or foreign languages in teacher education).

Testimonials
[...] Durch das Seminar Sprach- und Medienkritik in öffentlichen Diskursen hatte ich die Möglichkeit, einen sprachkritischen Essay zu verfassen, der anschließend im hauseigenen Diskursmonitor veröffentlicht wurde. Dadurch ist mein Text in die Augen eines Buchverlags gekommen und wurde für ein künftiges Schulbuch angefragt. Auch das zweisemestrige Studienprojekt bietet eine spannende Abwechslung zum Studienalltag. Dabei lernt man, eigenständig zu forschen und sich intensiv mit einem thematischen Schwerpunkt auseinanderzusetzen. Gleichzeitig stellt das Projekt eine wertvolle Vorbereitung auf die abschließende Masterarbeit und das dazugehörige Kolloquium dar.
[...] Bei der Auswahl der Vertiefungsrichtungen habe ich mich für PÖK (Professionelle und öffentliche Kommunikation) entschieden. Dabei gefällt mir vor allem das interdisziplinäre Arbeiten. Neben einem zweisemestrigen Studienprojekt bietet der Master ebenso spannende Praxiserfahrung in der computergestützten Sprachverarbeitung. Obwohl ich zuvor keinerlei Berührungspunkte mit dem Programmieren hatte, habe ich schnell Freude daran gefunden und konnte erste Erfolgserlebnisse erzielen. Besonders motiviert haben mich dabei der direkte Austausch mit meinen KommilitonInnen und die gegenseitige Unterstützung im Kurs. Zudem konnte ich durch das Modul General Management wertvolle Einblicke in die Betriebswirtschaftslehre erhalten. Diese Ergänzung zu den sprachwissenschaftlichen Modulen macht das Studium für mich besonders vielfältig.
