M.Sc. IN SPEECH AND LANGUAGE PROCESSING

This one-year course covers basic computing skills, prolog, core
linguistics, psycholinguistics, statistics, speech analysis, speech and
language technology systems, and techniques in speech recognition and
synthesis. The SERC (via EPSERC) has accepted the M.Sc. as suitable
for the tenure of its advanced course studentships, for which British
and other EC residents with Honours degrees or equivalent experience are
eligible. Subject to final approval, we expect to have a quota of five
such studentships for the academic year 1994-95.
