The DILARA master's degree program is structured following an interdisciplinary model that encompasses the analysis and presentation of thematic content, methodologies, resources, and digital technology tools pertinent to both fundamental research and applied domains within linguistics. This program emphasizes the intersection of language studies with computational sciences, educational sciences, and other related disciplines. Moreover, it extends its scope to the analytical and technological support of various societal sectors, such as culture, education, history, political sciences, media, journalism and others, thereby fostering a broad and integrative approach to language technologies and their applications across diverse fields of study. This design ensures a coherent and comprehensive educational path aimed at equipping students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to engage with contemporary challenges at the nexus of linguistics and digital innovations.

The aim of the program is to produce graduates who are specialists in English philology - proficient users of English (C2 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) with a solid knowledge of English linguistics and a deep knowledge of the literature and culture of English-speaking countries, who are aware of the professional literature in these fields and other information resources.

Editorial Studies covers the theory and practice of fundamental philological work (interpretation of traditional conventions, text criticism and commentary). It is broadly concerned with the saving, documentation, constitution and communication of control texts in Humanities research. The objects of study are addressed in-depth, using examples from participating disciplines. In close cooperation with institutions and projects in archiving and publishing, appropriate requirements for archiving and editorial practice are communicated, viewed critically and implemented as part of practical work.
