Study programme Digital Linguistics
The Digital Linguistics (DigiLing, Digitální lingvistika) is a Joint Degree programme, i.e. the Master's degree is jointly sponsored by three partner universities:
- Masaryk University, Faculty of Informatics and Faculty of Arts, Brno
- University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Arts, Lubljana, Slovenia
- University of Zagreb, multiple faculties, Zagreb, Croatia
Joint information is available on digiling.university.
The study programme combines computer science education with humanities/linguistics education, builds on, complements and interconnects the bachelor's studies of both disciplines.
Contacts
For any questions or problems in relation to the programme, you can contact the programme guarantor doc.Ales Horak or the co-guarantor at the Faculty of Arts dr.Hana Zizkova.

3rd semester in MU Brno
The ECTS requirements depend on your home university. Usually in DigiLing, the programme requires to gain at least 30 ECTS credits from the mobility semester.
When you come to Brno, you shall follow the syllabus displayed in the above mentioned programme catalogue or a summary table DigiLing-syllabus-MU-update2025, sheet 3 semester-nonCZ.
You have to take two obligatory courses
IA161 Natural Language Processing in Practice
PLIN055 Project from corpus and computational linguistics
and choose
- 3 courses from Special Topics:
PA164 Machine learning and natural language processing
PA220 Database systems for data analytics
PLIN035 Computational Lexicography
PLIN064 Introduction to Digital Humanities
PV061 Machine Translation
PV021 Neural Networks
CJBB184 Language Typology
CJJ63 Psycholinguistics
PV251 Visualization
IV111 Probability in Computer Science
IV029 Introduction to Transparent Intensional Logic
- 2 courses from Projects:
PB106 Corpus Linguistic Project
PLIN081 Advanced machine learning methods
PV277 Programming Applications for Social Robots
PLIN075 Linguistic Webinar
and we recommend the NLP lab seminar, see https://nlp.fi.muni.cz/en/NLPSeminar
For example, for Projects - you have to take PLIN055 and two other project courses.
The courses starting with PLIN or CJ are at the Faculty of Arts.
The other courses (PA*, PB*, PV*, I*) are at the Faculty of Informatics.
You can also take any other courses listed at
The listed course credits are the basic ones. You have to look at
each course information to find out its "Recommended Type of
Completion" and add one credit if it is "k (colloquium)" or two
credits if "zk (examination)".
Always read carefully the course Prerequisites. e.g. for the courses
https://is.muni.cz/course/fi/autumn2025/PA164
https://is.muni.cz/course/fi/autumn2025/PV021
they list
The basics of machine learning (e.g. IB031), computational linguistics (e.g. PA153) and neural networks (e.g. PV021), is assumed.
Recommended: knowledge corresponding to the courses IB031, MB152, and MB153.
So you shall search for the mentioned courses
https://is.muni.cz/course/fi/IB031
https://is.muni.cz/course/fi/PA153
https://is.muni.cz/course/fi/MB152
https://is.muni.cz/course/fi/MB153
and check whether you know what is listed there. Specifically PA164 and PV021 are aiming at a student with computer science background.
