Language Science and Technology (M.Sc.)

Saarland University · Saarbrücken, Germany

The master programme 'Language Science and Technology' aims at basic, applied, and cognitive research on written and spoken language that combines with state-of-the-art facilities to provide students with a rich and stimulating environment. Saarland University is one of the world's leading centres for computational linguistics and language technology. Students can put the focus on various fields of language processing such as computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, phonetics and speech science or speech technology. The language of instruction and examination is English. Students receive close personal supervision in small learning groups and the teaching staff introduce students to their respective fields of research early on in the programme. Graduates from the programme are therefore well prepared for a research or development role in the computational linguistics sector. A notable feature of the M.Sc. programme in Saarbrücken is the close proximity of university institutes to a number of highly respected external research institutions that are located on campus. The department collaborates closely with the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) as well as with the Max Planck Institute for Informatics (MPII) and the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS). Parts of the programme can be studied on a part-time basis, however, students must study full-time in the semester in which their final Master's thesis is written. The department maintains excellent ties to the international language science community and can help to arrange study-abroad periods in Europe or worldwide. Students on the Master's programme come from around the world. The four-semester consecutive Master's programme 'Language Science and Technology' builds on the foundations established in a B.Sc. programme on computational linguistics or a closely related subject such as computer science or (theoretical) linguistics. Students on the Master's programme must acquire 120 ECTS credits (120 CP). Students select at least four core or foundation lectures (24 CP) from the following categories:
