The M.A. programme qualifies students for academic careers and further qualifications in linguistics and cognitive sciences as well as in related disciplines such as philologies, communication and media sciences. It also qualifies students for non-university occupational fields that focus on language, cognition, communication and media. This includes, for example, areas of Natural Language Processing (e.g. search engine optimisation, development of speech recognition software, etc.), in media and publishing as well as journalism. In addition, jobs in public relations, science management, science foundations, international funding and development organisations or in the cultural sector are typical career goals for linguists. The intensive study of language and communication in their social and cultural context as well as the acquisition of competences in the area of data processing, organisation and presentation prepare students in many ways for these and other professional fields.

Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs¹² (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau¹³ [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
