Addition to Germán, you may follow this course as well: <a href="https://www.coursera.org/course/nlangp">https://www.coursera.org/course/nlangp</a>. It touches almost all important topics in NLP; it's good way to start with in order to expand your knowledge on NLP.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Anthony,<div><br><div>There is a plethora of very good Masters' degrees in Computational Linguistics that welcome people with the kind of background you describe.</div><div>Have a look at the following link: <a href="http://www.lct-master.org/index.php?id=home" target="_blank">http://www.lct-master.org/index.php?id=home</a></div>


<div>For example, I can recommend the Edinburgh Master's degree in Speech and Language Processing (see <a href="http://www.lel.ed.ac.uk/lel_students/postgraduate/speech_and_language_processing/index.php" target="_blank">http://www.lel.ed.ac.uk/lel_students/postgraduate/speech_and_language_processing/index.php</a>). This degree and other similar ones in the UK are conveniently one-year programmes.</div>

<span><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'Times New Roman';background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Hello. We are two university English language instructors with Master’s degrees in Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language, and research interests in Corpus Linguistics and second language acquisition. Lately, we have developed an interest in Natural Language Processing. We would like to know the best way to get into NLP, given our backgrounds. Having reviewed a number of PHD programmes advertised here on Corpora Request over 2013, it seems that most positions require a background in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, or related fields. We are currently
 familiarising ourselves with Python via some freely-available online courses (e.g., Codeacademy, Udacity, Coursera), and we are wondering what else we ought to be doing to realise our long-term goals.</span></span><br></div>
