2026-2027

This Master’s program has two specialisations:

  • Language & AI
  • Language Disorders (this is a Dutch program, please consult the Dutch study guide for more information)

Master’s program in Linguistics: Language & AI

Students start with the basics of linguistics and programming (Python) and then move on to more specialized knowledge and skills: they will learn how to look at language as data and learn to use methods and tools for the processing of language. After that, they will really dive into text mining by actually developing a reading machine. In the last three periods of the academic year, the students will do an internship and they will write their thesis. There is a fast-growing need in industry, governmental and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for specialists that can apply text mining, turn it into a product and exploit the results.

Is this your area of interest and you also want to get involved in research? Please consult the webpage on the Research Master’s program in Humanities, specialization Linguistics.
