Studying Phonetics

Master Speech Science and Phonetics

There are only a few German universities that offer phonetic Bachelor or Master programs. Marburg is one of these universities. Its special feature is that several disciplines, like Neurophonetics, Forensic Phonetics and Speech Science, are combined in the Master program "Sprechwissenschaft und Phonetik". 

The Master program Sprechwissenschaft und Phonetik leads to a unique academic qualification (Master of Arts). The contents of the study program cover all aspects of the research conducted within Phonetics and Speech Science at the University. Students will be offered several base modules, and later on be presented with specific possibilities to further and consolidate their special interests, either in Speech Science, Phonetics, or a combination thereof. Forensic or neuro-scientific foci are also always possible.

Detailed information can be found on the new web pages of our Department. Further details can be found at the central study web pages (ZAS). You can always directly contact us if you have specific questions. Please drop an e-mail at:
