Course content

The Linguistics MA with a specialisation in Computational Linguistics aims to give students a thorough grounding in both theoretical and computational linguistics. Students gain a basic understanding of the three core areas of linguistics: phonetics and phonology; syntax; and semantics and pragmatics, plus they will be introduced to algorithms and models that implement linguistic theories and form the basis of modern natural language processing systems. Through option modules, students are also able to tailor their programme to meet their personal research interests.
