The EMMLCT Program in Brief
The EMMLCT program is an international distributed Master of Science
course. It is designed to meet the demands of industry and research in
the rapidly growing of language technology. It offers education and
training opportunities for the next generations of leaders in research
and innovation. It provides students with profound knowledge and
insight into the various disciplines that contribute to the methods of
language and communication technologies a.k.a computational
linguistics a.k.a. natural language processing and strengthens their
ability to work according to scientific methods. Moreover, the
students acquire practice-oriented knowledge by choosing appropriate
combinations of modules in Language Technology, Computational and
Theoretical Linguistics, and Computer Science.
The program involves studying one year each at two different European
partner universities. Optionally a stay at one of the non-european
partners for some months is possible. After completing all study
requirements, the students obtain two Master of Science/Arts degrees:
one from each European universities where they studied.
The course consists of compulsory core modules, as well as elective
advanced modules in Language Technology and Computer Science, possibly
complemented by an internship project, and completed by a Master
Thesis.
The EMMLCT program is approved and supported by the Erasmus Mundus
Program of the European Union [
