Digital Linguistics as Minor (30)
The international Master's program Digital Linguistics requires no previous knowledge and allows an easy entry into the field of Computational Linguistics. It is therefore ideally suited for students without any prior technical knowledge. After the obligatory introduction to the field and to programming, students can freely choose from a variety of lectures.
Those completing the program are familiar with methods of linguistic data acquisition and have acquired knowledge in the automatic processing and analysis of large corpora and databases. They have programming skills and have deepened their knowledge in topics of their own choice, such as machine learning, machine translation, text mining, the semantic web, and parsing. They are able to read research papers on linguistics and language technology and apply the latest methods to large collections of linguistic data.
The sample curriculum shows one of several ways in which you can plan your studies. It represents a full-time study load of 4 semesters. In theMajor/Minor combination (120 ECTS credits in total), you will earn approximately 30 ECTS credits per semester. It is also possible to earn a lower amount of ECTS credits per semester. In this case, the duration of your studies will be extended accordingly. For the Minor in Digital Linguistics, we recommend starting your studies in the fall Semester.
Please note! The Master Minor program Digital Linguistics is not suitable for students who have already completed a major or minor in Computational Linguistics during their Bachelor's degree. Therefore, students who have studied Computational Linguistics during their Bachelor's degree should definitely choose the Master's study program Computational Linguistics and Language Technology.
The language of instruction is English.
