Description

Natural Language Processing is at the core of today's digital world. Machine Translation supports multilingual communication, conversational agents and advanced search systems help us navigate information, and generative AI assists with tasks ranging from creative writing to data analysis. Research in NLP is essential for making these technologies more accurate, responsible, and aligned with human needs. Our two-year Research Master in Natural Language Processing offers rigorous, interdisciplinary training that integrates Linguistics and Computer Science. You will gain strong technical skills in machine learning, language modelling, text processing, and computational semantics, together with a deep understanding of human language, linguistic theory, and experimental research methods. The programme prepares you to contribute to cutting-edge research in academia or industry, and to critically evaluate the social and ethical impact of NLP technologies. It is also possible to combine the study of the regular programme with the Information Science master.
