             A groundbreaking new MSc programme

The field    The MSc links two fast-growing areas in research and
             commerce. Modern dictionaries are compiled through
             increasing use of language technology, while language
             technology applications demand lexical resources of
             ever-increasing quality to improve their performance

Skills       *  analysis of language data
             *  write entries for dictionaries and computer lexicons
             *  plan and manage lexical resource projects
             *  automatic processing of language corpora

Who?         *  graduates in languages, linguistics or computer
                 science wishing to specialize
             *  experienced professionals wishing to consolidate their
                 expertise
             *  full time or part time
             *  individual modules may be taken as stand-alone courses

Prospects    Graduates of the MSc will be well placed to take up posts
             in
             *  dictionary publishing, as lexicographers or computer
                 specialists
             *  software companies involved in language technology
             *  PhD study and research

Where?       The course is run by the Information Technology Research
             Institute, a research institute specialising in language
             and computation, and takes place in Brighton, a vibrant
             and cosmopolitan seaside city one hour from London
