MSC Computational

MSC Computational is a Masters program taught at University of Manchester, UK. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

The University of Manchester’s MSc Computational and Corpus Linguistics is a specialist master’s in natural language processing technologies and the data-driven study of language. Students learn machine learning models for classifying, understanding, and generating texts, and natural language applications such as dialogue systems and machine translation. The course also covers corpus-driven topics including syntax, semantics, pragmatics, phonology and phonetics, historical language, socio and psycholinguistics.

Teaching uses lectures, computer-lab based workshops, and independent research. Students acquire programming skills in Python and statistical analysis skills in R. The course includes training to use high performance computing facilities and to document and present work, with assessment through development and documentation of computational lingui…

This programme is for students with undergraduate degrees in Linguistics (or related disciplines) who want quantitative and computational skills, and for students with some quantitative skills who want training in linguistics and computation. The University also states that preparation is for data-driven linguistic research through either industry or academia.
