Survey of curricula : linguistics and language-related degrees in Europe

Abstract

The needs analysis of the UPSKILLS project is the foundation for all subsequent project activities, and the survey of curricula as its first step is designed to provide insights for finetuning the interventions and materials that will be designed during the lifetime of the project, as well as for enlarging the pool of stakeholders to whom the project results will be disseminated. The survey of curricula has several steps: drawing a list of European language and linguistics degrees from international ranking websites, selecting and analyzing a representative sample of degrees based on a set of indicators agreed upon by all partners, and additional studying of a selection of degrees that the partners identified as exemplary in the context of the UPSKILLS project.
