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:
