The EMCL (European Masters Programme in Clinical Linguistics) is a 15 months 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 Ph.D.-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 teaching terms. The core courses offered in the first term are more or less the same at the participating universities. During the second and third term, the students attend specialized courses. The courses in the second or third term are undertaken at a second university. To finish the programme, the student writes a Masters thesis in the fourth term and attends a summer school or conference organized for the consortium students. The total number of credits required for completing the programme is 90 ECTS. All courses are taught in English.

The EMCL programme is part of the Erasmus Mundus initiative of the European Union, providing an Erasmus Mundus scholarship covering tuition fees (7500 Euro), living and travelling costs for non-EU students admitted to the programme (amounting to a total of 29,000 Euro/scholarship). The EMCL-programme thus has a strong extra-European profile. Students from EU-countries may not apply for the Erasmus Mundus scholarship, but pay a reduced tuition fee of 2700 Euro. Applications from EU students are highly welcome.

Requirement for application is at least three years of higher education (B.A., B.Sc. or equivalent) with an emphasis on linguistics, speech and language pathology, biomedical sciences, psychology or special education.
