Program overview
A one year master degree in computational linguistics, covering natural language processing, speech technology, corpus methods, machine translation and a technical project.
Language technologies sits where linguistics meets computing, and Bangor’s bilingual Welsh and English setting gives the field a working laboratory.
Master of Science in Language Technologies is taught at the Bangor University, a UK university with degree awarding powers. Because the language technologies master is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after the language technologies master ends, or three years for a doctorate. To claim it after the language technologies master you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. One limit applies to the language technologies master as to every taught course in Britain: the rules introduced in January 2024 stop taught students bringing a spouse or children as dependants, so the language technologies master cannot support a family move.
Entry to Master of Science in Language Technologies is a completed bachelor degree at 60 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the language technologies master is recorded at GBP 18,000 a year. Bangor charges no application fee, so applying for the language technologies master costs you nothing, and no scholarship is recorded against it. the language technologies master lists only two entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages the the language technologies master application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
