The EMMLCT Program in Brief

The EMMLCT program is an international distributed Master of Science course. 
The program involves studying one year each at two different Universities of the 
consortium. After completing all study requirements the students obtain  two 
already approved Master of Science/Arts degrees with legal value in the countries 
of issue.

The course consists of compulsory core modules, as well as elective advanced 
modules in Language Technology and Computer Science, 
optionally complemented by a project, and completed by a Master Thesis.

The EMMLCT program provides students with profound knowledge and insight into 
the various disciplines that contribute to the methods of language and 
communication technologies and it strengthens their ability to work according to 
scientific methods. Moreover, the students acquire practice-oriented knowledge by 
choosing appropriate combinations of modules in Language Technology, 
Computational and Theoretical Linguistics, and Computer Science. As such, the 
EMMLCT program is designed to meet the demands of industry and research in 
the rapidly growing area of Language Technology. It offers education and training 
opportunities for future generations of leaders in research and innovation.

The EMMLCT program is approved and supported by the Erasmus Mundus 
Program of the European Union. More information:
