About this program

The Bachelor's Degree in Computational Linguistics at the University of Tübingen merges the fields of linguistics and computer science, providing students with a solid foundation in both disciplines. Over the course of six semesters, students engage with key concepts and methods essential for understanding human language and developing computational models that can process and analyze linguistic data.

The curriculum is structured into modules that cover a variety of aspects, including syntax, semantics, phonetics, and natural language processing. Students gain significant exposure to practical applications, where they can implement their theoretical knowledge through exercises and projects. Furthermore, the program often includes opportunities for an internship semester, allowing students to gain real-world experience and connect with industry partners.

Throughout their studies, students also develop vital skills such as programming, statistical analysis, and critical thinking, all of which are highly valued in the tech-driven job market. The interdisciplinary nature of this program makes it suitable for those interested in the overlap between language and technology, providing a unique opportunity for students to explore their interests in both fields.

As a key hub for research and development in Germany, Tübingen is well-connected with industries and research institutions, particularly within the vibrant Mittelstand. Graduates of this program benefit from the 18-month post-study job-seeking permit in Germany, allowing them to explore job opportunities while also potentially working part-time during their studies.
