Overview
The two-year Computational Linguistics programme from University of Stuttgart is offered by the Institute for Natural Language Processing (IMS), a small institute which allows students to work closely with its researchers. Accordingly, the program is characterized by an emphasis on teamwork, laboratory work and research skills. Building on the contents of a B.Sc. in Natural Language Processing (NLP) or a related field, the M.Sc. Computational Linguistics is designed to provide more in-depth skills in specialized subjects in the area of text and speech processing.
What job prospects are available to me after graduation?
With a master’s degree in Computational Linguistics, our graduates will be prepared for advanced academic or industrial research and development in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. Thanks to our international orientation and to our connections with the industry, they find employment at renowned institutions and companies in Germany or other parts of the world involved with speech and language technologies.
Typical task areas include speech processing, automatic generation and analysis of texts, machine translation, electronic dictionaries, search technology, (social) media monitoring, or dialogue systems for e.g. (artificially intelligent) robots or chatbots, for smartphones, for cars or for (smart) homes.
Further interesting areas of work contain publishing houses, translation agencies, language teaching (eLearning) or the service and health sector (e.g. BioNLP).
Programme Structure
Students can focus on one of the following areas by choosing specific elective courses:
- Core Computational Linguistics (covering a wide range of theoretical foundations and fundamental technologies for different CL areas)
- Applied Natural Language Processing (covering a wide range of text processing applications and the techniques used to address them)
- Speech Processing (focusing on the automated processing of spoken language for a variety of purposes)

Other requirements
General requirements
- Admission requirements: bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in "Maschinelle Sprachverarbeitung" (Natural Language Processing), Computational Linguistics, Computer Science, General Linguistics or in a closely-related subject. You can also apply with your current transcript of records if you haven't finished your degree yet.
- Students who are missing certain qualifications may be granted admission on the condition that they acquire these qualifications before or during the course of their studies, for example by passing additional modules ("Auflagen" in German). Students with a stronger linguistic background have to pass an oral exam on computer science and computational linguistics-related topics and a specific beginners' programming course in the winter semester. Students with a stronger background in computer science are examined on linguistics and computational linguistics topics.
