A huge amount of information is created through speech and language – from writing and conversation to videos. With artificial intelligence gaining more prominence, there is also a growing need for technology that helps AI-empowered solutions to communicate quickly and impeccably in various languages. By becoming a student in speech and language technology, you secure a place in a fast growing, future-proof field. Besides improving technological applications, you get to solve important societal challenges, such as working towards a more equal education system and helping the healthcare sector to benefit from these technologies.

Upon graduating from the Computer, Communication and Information Sciences - Speech and Language Technology, graduates will have:

  • A strong theoretical and methodological background of speech and language technology. Graduates possess a toolbox of knowledge on machine learning, mathematical and statistical language modeling, as well as speech analysis, synthesis, recognition, and coding.
  • Advanced programming skills. Graduates master various programming languages and tools, and have the ability to design, implement, test and maintain practical machine learning and speech and language processing systems.
  • Extensive data analysis skills. Graduates have an in-depth understanding of the nature and diversity of data and how it can be translated into information by machine learning.
  • Mathematical and statistical modelling skills. Graduates master the use of mathematical models and the underlying statistical assumptions, allowing them to make accurate predictions from real world data.
  • Extensive knowledge about the state of the art research in the field. Graduates benefit from the top-notch research led by professors and researchers and have the basis needed to embark on a career in research, should they wish to do so.
