Master's degree in Language Sciences (SDL)

The Master in Language Sciences enables students to acquire solid theoretical knowledge and methodological skills, while providing in-depth linguistic training in an oriental language within Inalco's remit. Co-accredited with Université Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3 (Master LLTS), it is designed for students wishing to deepen their linguistic reflection by confronting it with the diversity of languages.
