Applied Linguistics

The Department of Intelligent Computer Systems trains specialists in the speciality “Philology” (educational programme “Applied and Computer Linguistics”), relying on a unique Ukraine conceptual model of a specialist developed at the department.

The uniqueness of this model lies in the fact that along with the study of two foreign languages (English and German / French) and linguistic disciplines, students receive training in the field of new computer technologies, which significantly expands their employment opportunities compared to graduates of other specialities, both philological and technical.

To realise the developed model of training specialists in “Applied and Computer Linguistics”, a unique curriculum was developed in which classical linguistic disciplines are combined with special technical disciplines. Studying these disciplines in a complex environment allows students to gain practical skills in working with linguistic material and its analysis and using it for specific tasks in the automatic processing of natural language and computer linguistics.
