Career prospects and further studies

A master’s degree in linguistics forms the basis for further doctoral studies and research work in the university and college sectors, not only in linguistics, but in language sciences in general. Linguists also work with language standardization, on dictionary projects, in language training for foreigners, and not least in language and information technology.
