As one of the leading computational linguistics programmes in Germany, the ISCL MA course of study focuses on current themes in computational linguistics research as well as on practical skills. Students can choose from a wide range of courses in our department and in other departments of the University of Tübingen. Topics dealt with in our courses include grammar formalisms, machine learning, information retrieval, dialectometry, and computer-aided language learning, to name just a few. By engaging in project-driven work and writing term papers, our students learn how to solve problems on a solid academic basis.
Students with a BA in computational linguistics can choose which courses they want to take relatively freely. Those with a pure linguistics or computer science background have to catch up on the corresponding counterparts. Many courses offered at our department include hands-on components. It is also possible to take courses at other departments of the university (e.g. computer science or general linguistics) and have them counted as part of the MA degree, with courses external to the department requiring approval by the adviser at the start of the semester.

There are a number of positions for student research assistants in our department, and we traditionally fill these positions with participants from the ISCL programme.
Accommodation is available through the Student Services organisation (“Studierendenwerk“) or on the private market. Rooms in student accommodation cost approx. 200 to 400 EUR per month. As Tübingen is a very attractive place to live, private accommodation is more expensive and can take some effort to find. To make sure you find a suitable place to live, you should start looking as early as possible.
We recommend you apply for student accommodation through the “Studierendenwerk” at the same time that you apply for admission to the Master's programme (https://www.my-stuwe.de/en/housing/halls-of-residence-tuebingen/ and https://www.my-stuwe.de/en/housing/faqs/) and send in a copy of your notification of admission as soon as you have received it. (Your application won’t be processed before the “Studierendenwerk” has received proof of your admission.)
For further information, check out the “Studierendenwerk” pages on housing in Tübingen (https://www.my-stuwe.de/en/housing/housing-infos/).
