Euromasters at Faculty of Informatics
The pages of the Euromasters Summer School have been moved to
http://www.fi.muni.cz/euromasters/ss.
Project Description
The European Masters in Language and Speech presents a flexible and innovative scheme
for education and training of students in both Natural Language Processing and
Speech Communication Sciences. Students successfully fulfilling the requirements
will receive a certificate granted by ISCA and EACL.
It is important to note that this certificate does not replace an academic degree
awarded by a University. The EuroMasters is rather a certificate which is awarded
in addition to a first University degree.
The European Masters consists of:
- a course period (at least 9 months)
- a period of project work (preferably traineeship in industry)
- (at least 3 months)
- a summer school
The summary of the thesis resulting from the project work should be
presented as a four-page report to the international electronic student
journal WEB-SLS.
It is strongly recommended that at least three months of study (whether
on courses or project work) is spent abroad.
The European Credit Transfer System is adopted (ECTS | 60 credit
points per year of study). The total of courses should value at least
45 credit points and the traineeship should cover a minimum of 15 credit
points.

Euromasters at FI
The Euromasters programme is mainly implemented in the framework
of the specialization "Natural Language Processing" at the Faculty of Informatics. Students
from other faculties are still able to participate at the Euromasters programm.
The required courses are listed in a special page.
The responsibility lies with the individual students to organise their
course combination, studying abroad, participating in the EuroMasters Summer School.
The faculty staff is able to help students to find a partner abroad and to fund
the participation in the Euromasters School.
