The Master's degree in Multilingual Technologies is an English-taught program offered jointly by the University of Vienna and the University of Applied Sciences Campus Wien. This interdisciplinary program equips students with in-depth knowledge of language technologies, methods for their development and application, and the creation and use of language resources. It combines aspects of translation, transcultural communication, computer science, and linguistics to prepare students for advanced roles in the field of language technology.
The curriculum is structured into compulsory and alternative compulsory modules, a master's colloquium, and the master's thesis. Students will cover core concepts in language technologies, software development, language resources, computational methods, and socio-cultural skills.
Graduates are well-prepared for careers in research and applied fields within language technologies. They possess specialized expertise in areas such as translation technologies and multilingual information extraction.
