Project summary

EMLDS is a 120 ECTS English-language programme awarding a Joint Degree. Based on the collaboration amongst four European universities and its associated partners, the EMLDS aims at providing a novel approach to linking linguistics to computer sciences and data science in terms of its methodology, scientific content, pedagogical approach, and curricular structure. The EMLDS master has three different objectives: • to increase the competitiveness of linguistics as a discipline, by firmly linking it to the shifting demands of the academic and professional job market, specifically the growing need for accurate, accessible, and inspiring engagement with the possibilities of Computer Science and Data Science; • to strengthen linguistic data science as an educational and research field, given its cross-disciplinary framework and cutting-edge nature, aiming to respond to contemporary social and technological challenges; • to equip students with the methodological and critical instruments to assess fundamental technical, ethical and political implications of the LDS at the local, national, regional, European and global levels. The EMLDS programme comprises four possible mobility paths and four main components: Induction Days, coursework in Semester 1 and Semester 2; thematic training sessions and orientation seminar in Semester 3, to be held on a rotating basis by each of the Consortium members; and master dissertation, internship with report or project in Semester 4, in the university of the student’s choice.
