The key point to ensure is that you have covered the required topics and gained sufficient ECTS credits. Within these constraints you have a lot of flexibility. The program ensures that all students receive a common education that covers the core topics in LCT, but their specific scientific profile is shaped by the pair of Universities they choose for the first and second year of their studies. The partners of the consortium can be broadly classified in Language Technology partners (University of Saarbruecken, Charles University in Prague, University of Groningen) and Computer Science partners (Free University of Bolzano-Bozen, University of Nancy 2, University of Malta, University of Melbourne, Shanghai Jiao Tong University). This distinction yields two initial scientific profiles (major in language technology/computational linguistics or major in computer science) depending on the choice of the University for the first year. These scientific profiles are further refined through the choice of the university for the second year, in terms of the research specialisations of each of the research centers. Please note that the selection committee reserves the right to adjust partner choices based on reveiw of your application.
