Digital Linguistics

follow-up master's program (Czech) without specializations supporting Major/Minor study

The Joint Master Programme in Digital Linguistics will train highly qualified interdisciplinar profile combining knowledge and competencies from the field of computer science, information technology (IT), linguistics and humanities. Holders of the master’s degree in Digital Linguistics will have a broad set of applied IT skills and will be trained for programming, using and compiling language resources, using and adapting language technologies and autonomously conducting language data analyses. In addition, they will have a high level of competence in communication in at least two languages, will be able to recognise and adjust themselves to all types of written, spoken and digital texts as well as understand the principles of interlingual communication in all forms.

Holder of the master's degree in Digital Linguistics will be employable in various professional environments where technology-assisted language services are developed, offered or used.
