Master Traitement Automatique Des Langues

Tuition costs 250 EUR per year.

Natural language processing sits at the intersection of linguistics and computer science, focused on enabling computers to analyze and generate human language. The Master Traitement Automatique Des Langues at the Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales, located in Paris, France, trains students in this computational field. Typical subjects include computational linguistics, programming for text and speech data, machine translation, corpus linguistics, and the statistical and machine-learning methods used to build language technology systems. Students often study how algorithms parse sentence structure, extract meaning, or generate text, alongside the linguistic theory needed to understand why languages behave the way they do. Given the institution's strength in world languages, programs in this area frequently address multilingual and cross-linguistic challenges in language technology, rather than focusing on a single language. Coursework may also cover speech recognition, information extraction, and the evaluation methods used to assess how well language technology systems perform. This combination of linguistic and technical training distinguishes the field from general computer science, since practitioners need to understand both the software engineering side and the structural properties of language itself. Graduates commonly find roles as computational linguists, natural language processing engineers, or data scientists working with text data, often in technology companies, research labs, or organizations building translation and search tools. This is a master's degree spanning two years, with an inferred start in September, delivered in French. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Applicants should be comfortable with programming as well as linguistic analysis.
