       COMPUTER SPEECH, TEXT, AND INTERNET TECHNOLOGY

                  ONE YEAR MASTERS COURSE

 THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING AND THE COMPUTER LABORATORY

                  UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE

- ---------------------------------------------------------

  This new Masters course replaces the highly successful
  M.Phil in Computer Speech and Language Processing.

  Like its predecessor, a key aim of the new Masters course
  in Computer Speech, Text and Internet Technology is to
  teach the fundamental theory of speech and natural
  language processing. However, the new course also focuses
  on its application to information management and access
  within the framework of emerging Internet and W3C
  standards, such as XML text and speech annotation and 3G
  wireless communication.

  It runs from early October to August and consists of two
  terms of lectures and practicals followed by a three
  month project.  The final degree is awarded on the basis
  of coursework, examination and project.

  The course differs from some other programmes by
  providing an in-depth practical and theoretical grounding
  in the techniques for speech and language processing
  which form the basis for today's commercial and research
  prototype systems. There are strong links with industry
  and many of our past students have gone on to work for
  high-tech start-ups and industrial research laboratories,
  either immediately or after completing a PhD.

  To further strengthen our links with industry, we are
  making this course available to students wishing to
  pursue it on a part-time basis.

  Cambridge is a major international centre for research in
  both speech and language processing. The course is taught
  by leading researchers in these areas who have active
  collaborations with industrial and academic laboratories
  in Europe, the US and Japan.

  The EPSRC have funded a number of studentships for the
  course which are currently available to qualifying
  applicants.  We especially encourage applications from
  students with a background in engineering, computer
  science, mathematics, linguistics and/or psychology.
