Computational Linguistics

Application Documents

We will need the following documents:

copy of the university entrance qualification (e.g. Abitur)

copy of a Bachelor degree (or comparable) in Computational Linguistics from a German or recognized international university. Computational Linguistics has to constitute at least 50% of the degree. You must have achieved a mark of 2,0 (German universities) or the ECTS Grade B "Very good" or better.

If your degree has not been finalized yet, we can process your application if you provide us with a statement by your university that details your completed courses and marks and confirms that you are expected to finish your degree by the start of the Masters program. (You do not need such a statement if your Bachelors degree is to be obtained at our institute.)

Transcript of Records of the Bachelors degree

proof of sufficient knowledge of English (if you are not a native English speaker). You will need to have achieved Level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. You can prove this, for example, via school certificates (e.g. a German Abitur), language courses on the UNIcert level or an English BA-thesis.

summary of your bachelor thesis (main hypothesis, research questions and results; at least 1 page)

letter of motivation in which you detail why you are applying for the program (1-2 pages, German or English)

CV (2-3 pages, German or English) (optional, upload on heiCO in the section "Proof of relevant work experience and extra-curricular accomplishments obtained in the field of study"/"Nachweis über eventuelle Berufserfahrung und hochschulexterne studiumsrelevante Leistungen")
