Master Sciences Du Langage — Sciences du langage et mondes créoles

Tuition fees for Master Sciences Du Langage — Sciences du langage et mondes créoles are 250 EUR per year.

The Master Sciences du Langage, with its track in Sciences du langage et mondes creoles, belongs to the discipline of linguistics, the scientific study of language structure, use, and change. Offered by Universite de La Reunion in Saint-Denis Cedex 9, this program situates general linguistic study within the specific context of Creole-speaking societies, an area of particular relevance in a region shaped by language contact and multilingualism. Students in linguistics programs typically study phonetics and phonology, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, and language variation and change, along with methods for analyzing spoken and written language data. A track oriented toward Creole worlds would be expected to add attention to language contact phenomena, pidgin and creole formation, multilingual education, and the social and historical dimensions of language in postcolonial and island contexts. Graduates of linguistics programs commonly move into teaching, whether of French, Creole languages, or foreign languages, as well as research roles, translation and interpretation, language documentation, and positions in cultural or language policy organizations. Some pursue further doctoral research in linguistics or related fields. This is a two-year master's degree, taught in French, with an inferred start date in September and yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Because instruction is delivered in French, applicants should have a solid command of the language for coursework, seminars, and written assignments. Entry into a linguistics master's program generally assumes prior undergraduate study in linguistics, language sciences, or a closely related field. Students choosing this particular track at Universite de La Reunion can expect their two years of study to combine core linguistic training with a regional focus on Creole languages and multilingual communication.
