Key Summary

    About : The PhD in Computational Linguistics focuses on the intersection of linguistics and computer science. It explores how computational techniques can be applied to the understanding and processing of human language. Students will engage in advanced research and develop skills in areas like natural language processing, machine learning, and algorithm design. This program typically spans 3-5 years and offers opportunities for collaborative projects.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates may pursue careers in various fields, including academia, tech industry, and government research. Potential roles include computational linguist, data scientist, and language technology developer. The skills gained can also lead to positions in artificial intelligence and software development.

Computational linguistics is an interdisciplinary scientific field involving mathematics (including topics such as discrete mathematics, statistics, and probability), computer science (e.g. algorithmization, machine learning, artificial intelligence), and classical linguistics (e.g. morphology, syntax, language typology). Computational linguistics investigates language from a formal point of view, and it aims at developing methods that could be used in software applications in the field of Natural Language Processing, in which languages in their spoken or written form are handled.

The program does not contain specializations.
