MA/MS in Computerlinguistik (mit Profilbereich)

The Master's programme in Computational Linguistics examines the machine processing of natural language, combining language technology, information search and data mining. It has strong links to linguistics, computer science, logic and phonetics. The programme is organised into three areas of specialisation. Area A covers information retrieval, information extraction, digital libraries and information systems. Area B covers lexicon work and syntactic and semantic analysis methods. Area C covers the algorithmic and formal foundations of the field. The four-semester degree carries 120 ECTS, including 30 ECTS from the joint humanities and social sciences profile area. A minor cannot be taken alongside it. Admission to the first semester is open for graduates of a degree of at least six semesters in computational linguistics or a related field, and higher semesters have free entry.
