The International Masters in Natural Language Processing and Human Language Technology is an Erasmus Mundus Master course, organised jointly by four European universities. During the two-year programme, participants study at two or three universities of the consortium. Students are awarded a multiple Masters degree by the institutions where they study.
Deadline: 03/01/2010
Open to: EU and Non EU students”
Scholarship: full under Erasmus Mundus
Four universities are involved in the Masters consortium. The student chooses to go to two or three universities of the consortium and studies for one year in one of the universities and for the other year in one or two of the three other universities (if the student chooses to go to 2 universities in the same year, he/she will spend one semester in each of these).
The disciplines involved are linguistics, computer science, mathematics and either two or three languages. The study programme covers taught subjects and a research project dissertation in the domain. The taught subjects are organised so that each student obtains the same fundamental knowledge and can obtain more specialised material according to the student’s preference for doing either more linguistics or more computing and mathematics. The lectures are based on fundamentals but are also in connection with the most recent research and developments in the domain. To complete the course, each student are required to obtain 120 ECTS points: 60 ECTS in taught subjects and 60 ECTS through the research project dissertation. Dissertation projects are jointly supervised by members of the teaching staff who are active in research and who also supervise PhD dissertations as well as visiting scholars – all partners of the consortium are associated with university research laboratories. Moreover, the opportunity exists for interested students within the programme to do a non-assessed placement in a company or in a research centre.
The languages of instruction are those of the country of each partner university (English, French, Portuguese, Spanish).
For the academic year 2010-2011, the IM in NLP&HLT Masters programme will have 10 scholarships (category A) for third-country students in the general category and 2 scholarships in the special category of the “Western Balkans and Turkey Window” for students from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Kosovo under UNSC Resolution 1244/99, as well as from the candidate country: Turkey.
