Education
Linguistics strives to identify the common properties of languages by studying their formal properties, their history, their diversity, their learning, and their pathologies. The UFR de Linguistique (UFRL) offers training in linguistics (Sciences du langage SDL) at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels.
Bachelor’s Degrees
We offer the third year of a bachelor in linguistics (in French Licence 3 or L3 for short), entitled “Linguistique Théorique, Expérimentale et Informatique”, meant to present the major aspects of linguistics. This L3 program also comprises courses in mathematics and computer programming, enabling students to pursue a master in Computational Linguistics or in Linguistics, depending on their results and career plans.
It is possible to access the L3 after two years of higher education. Without waiting for the L3, it is possible to discover linguistics by taking the “bilicence lettres et sciences du langage” or by taking discovery courses in L1 and L2.
Master’s Degrees in Linguistics
The UFR de Linguistique – Grands Moulins campus offers five master programs in linguistics:
- Computational Linguistics (in English)
- Ingénierie du Français Langue Étrangère
- Langues d’Asie Orientale et Ingénierie du Français Langue Etrangère
- LOGOS – Philosophy, Linguistics, Logic, and Computer Science (in English)
- Theoretical and Experimental Linguistics and Phonetics (in English)
The master is part of the Paris Graduate School of Linguistics (PGSL)
Master in Cognitive Science
The CogSUP Master’s in Cognitive Science is a joint program of Université Paris Cité and Sorbonne Université.
The Master is taught in English and comprises six tracks: Psychology, Neurosciences, Computational Neurosciences and AI, Computational Linguistics and AI, Cognitive Science and Society, Philosophy, which are mainly run by the Biomedical UFR at Université Paris Cité. The Linguistics UFR is home to the Computational Linguistics and AI program, which is part of the Paris Graduate School of Linguistics (PGSL)
Doctorate
Research groups at Université Paris Cité work on all aspects of language, from theoretical to applied linguistics. For PhDs in linguistics, most students enroll in the doctoral program at the doctoral school in linguistics (ED 622). Some students enroll in other doctoral schools, such as ED 474 (FIRE) or ED 386 (Mathematics and Computer Science of Central Paris). The PhD program within the doctoral school ED 622 covers the following disciplinary fields of linguistics:
- Theoretical, descriptive and experimental linguistics: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics
- Computational linguistics
- Linguistic typology, diversity of languages
- History and epistemology of language sciences
- French as a foreign language
