Annotation

This is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s degree programme, which is completed at three European universities and can be studied entirely in English.

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s degree programme "Multilingualism and Cultural Diversity" (EMJM MultiDiverse) is a multidisciplinary, highly integrated and transnational, research-oriented degree course that combines linguistics, education, sociology and psychology. It provides students with in-depth knowledge and skills in the field of multilingualism and cultural diversity, regardless of whether they already have previous linguistic knowledge or not. The internationally oriented and socially relevant degree course is offered in cooperation with Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) and the Jagiellonian University in Krakow (Poland).

Compulsory mobility phases in three different countries are the core of EMJM MultiDiverse. Students spend their first semester in Konstanz (Germany), the second semester in Thessaloniki (Greece) and the third semester in Krakow (Poland).
In the fourth semester, students complete a relevant work placement in a company, institution or research group at a location of their choice.

On successful completion of the programme, graduates receive a joint Master’s degree, which is officially awarded by all three partner universities.
