Language & Communication Technologies

Discontinuation of the LCT Programm

Dear prospective applicants,

Thank you for your interest in the Language and Communication Technologies (LCT) Master's Programme.

Due to the lack of Erasmus Mundus funding, the LCT Master's Programme will unfortunately not continue in its current form, and there will be no further calls for applications.

We sincerely appreciate the interest and enthusiasm shown by prospective students from around the world. While we are disappointed that we cannot welcome a new cohort, we wish you every success in finding another Master's programme that supports your academic and professional goals.

Although the programme is coming to an end, the LCT community remains active. We warmly invite you to stay connected with us through our LinkedIn community, where you can keep in touch with alumni, partners, and members of the LCT network.

Thank you once again for your interest in LCT. We wish you all the best for your future studies and career.

Best regards,
