The EMMLCT Program in Brief
The EMMLCT program is an international distributed Master of Science
course. The program involves studying one year each at two different
Universities of the consortium. After completing all study requirements
the students obtain two already approved Master of Science/Arts degrees
with legal value in the countries of issue.
The course consists of compulsory core modules, as well as elective
advanced modules in Language Technology and Computer Science, optionally
complemented by a project, and completed by a Master Thesis.
The EMMLCT program provides students with profound knowledge and insight
into the various disciplines that contribute to the methods of language
and communication technologies and it 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. As such, the EMMLCT program is designed to meet the
demands of industry and research in the rapidly growing area of Language
Technology. It offers education and training opportunities for future
generations of leaders in research and innovation.
The EMMLCT program is approved and supported by the Erasmus Mundus Program
of the European Union. More information:
