Admission Requirements

Ideally, CCiL applicants should have a degree in Psychology, Philosophy or Linguistics. Students holding a degree in Translation and Interpretation or Philologies are also accepted. Depending on the courses studied in their BA and the branch in which they want to register, students will be required to take up to 5 background courses (30 credits). For example, Translation students willing to register in the Linguistics branch that did not read Linguistics during their BA, will be required to register some Linguistics background courses. Students holding a BA in Linguistics that want to register Psychology as their branch need to register Psychology background courses. The committee also takes into account the student's record, the courses taken and the qualifications to assess whether the student needs to take some background courses.
