The master program has two areas of specialization: Speech and Language Therapy and Language Impairments (for speech and language therapists), and Education and Language Teaching (for pre-school and schoolteachers).
The degree implies 6 compulsory modules (60 ECTS in two semesters) on Language Sciences (Speech and Language Therapy and Linguistics) and/or Educational Sciences, and one final Project (60 ECTS in two semesters). |
