Diploma in Interlinguistics (ESPERANTO)


Diploma in Interlinguistics (ESPERANTO) - distance learning
Programme description The three-year course of studies includes classes from general and applied linguistics (morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics) and international languages – both ethnic languages which have been a lingua franca: from Aramaic, through Latin to English and planned languages, from the philosophical languages of the Middle Ages through Esperanto to the latest proposals. The focus of the studies is Esperanto as the only planned language to have spread across the world. The grammar, literature and history of Esperanto are examined in depth. Another important component of the studies is intercultural communication. The language of instruction is Esperanto.
One session per semester (in September and February). During the intensive week long session in Poznan there are four 10-hour courses followed by examinations. During the semester students working on assignments given out during the session can consult lecturers by email and the programme’s internet platform.
