Master Sciences Du Langage — Langue et informatique

Tuition is 250 EUR per year.

Sorbonne Université's Master Sciences du Langage — Langue et informatique is a two-year master's degree delivered in Paris, France. Language sciences, or linguistics, is the study of how human language is structured and used, covering phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, as well as how language varies across speakers, contexts, and time. Students in this field typically analyze spoken and written language data, compare languages, and examine how meaning is constructed and communicated. This track pairs linguistics with computing, an intersection often called computational linguistics or natural language processing. Coursework in that direction commonly includes programming, corpus analysis, speech and text processing, and the methods used to build tools such as translation systems, search engines, and voice recognition software. Students learn to apply computational methods to linguistic questions and, conversely, to bring linguistic knowledge to bear on the design of language technology. Graduates from language sciences programs with a computational orientation often go on to work in technology companies developing language tools, in research institutions studying language and cognition, or in publishing, translation, and communication fields that increasingly rely on automated text processing. Some continue into doctoral research in linguistics or computer science. The program is taught in French and runs for two years, with tuition set at 250 EUR annually and studies expected to start in September. Because the track combines two distinct skill sets, students benefit from an interest in both language analysis and technical, programming-oriented work before beginning the program.
