Natural Language Processing
Master
NLP is everywhere: Machine Translation is increasingly employed for communication, advanced search engines are utilized to extract content from diverse media sources, and GenAI is used to assist in creative writing.
This international Double Degree track in Natural Language Processing combines Linguistics and Computer Science, which means you study human language technologies in a multilingual setting.
The two-year training is part of the prestigious international Erasmus Mundus programme. The first year you will start in Groningen. You will finish the programme with a stay at one of our partner universities in the second year. After completing the track, you will receive two Master's degrees: a degree in Linguistics in Groningen and a second Master's degree depending on the partner university you chose to stay at.
The programme consists of compulsory and optional courses. In this way, you can design the programme to fit your interests. In addition, you will do a research project and write a Master's thesis.
Natural Language Processing is a Master’s track, embedded in the Language and Communication Technologies Erasmus Mundus programme.
How do people experience Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications? How can we use these technologies to analyze subjective framing of text, detect mistranslations, and make Large Language Models more transparent?
