The programme further includes three seminar courses, chosen individually among the seminars offered. This may cause an extension of the total study time. For a Master's degree there are courses in Oral Communication, Typology and Univerals as well as Methodology. In addition, one must choose four special topics and write a thesis. Thus, there are good possibilities for adapting the course of study to one's own interests.
Students join together in study groups where they plan and present topics of interest.
In certain fields, undergraduate and upper-level students attend the same courses and work together in groups.
