Which prerequisites do I need for applying to the Masters program in Computational Linguistics?
The Heidelberg Masters program is a consecutive program, i.e. you will need a Bachelors degree in Computational Linguistics (at least 50%). You will find more information on our Admission page.
Which language skills do I need to have?
You will need B2 English language skills. You will find more information on our Admission page.
Do I have to study a secondary subject?
You can study a secondary subject if you choose 80% CL with secondary subject. However, you can also study 100% CL.
If I am matriculated at Heidelberg university and change from Bachelor to Masters, is this a new matriculation or a change of program?
It is a change of program ("Umschreibung"). You will have to reregister in time for the following term and then use your master admission for the program change.
How are the marks entered into LSF/HISPOS?
The marks for all CL modules will be entered by the Computational Linguistics administration if you committed on time for the corresponding module. For marks in the secondary subject, please contact the study advisor or administration in the secondary subject.
How can I register for the final oral exam?
Download the corresponding form from the Examination office (Gemeinsames Prüfungsamt) and fill it in as far as possible. You will also need to collect signatures of your thesis advisor and/or examiner for the oral exam. Once this is complete, hand in the form to the secretaries in Computational Linguistics who will check everything and hand it to the institute director to sign. You can then recollect the form and go to the examination office with it. Please note that the date on the form counts as the beginning of your final thesis phase ("Abschlussphase"), not the hand-in date at the examination office.
Where can I get additional advice?
There is more information on the general Masters page. If this is
insufficient then contact the study advisor (studienberatung-master
cl.uni-heidelberg.de).
