The Master's programme in Language and Communication Technologies (LCT) consists of core modules and specialised modules in Language Technologies (LT) and Computer Science (CS), a project and a Master's thesis, for a total of 120 ECTS credits. The specialised modules represent 24 ECTS credits, of which at least four credits should be in LT and four in CS. These modules are based on the specific strengths in research and teaching of the partner institutions and thus vary from partner to partner. Of the 24 specialised module ECTS credits, 15 may be devoted to a project. The Master's thesis accounts for 30 ECTS credit points.
60 credits are to be completed at each partner university.
