This undergraduate programme introduces computational and theoretical foundations of language processing, blending introductory linguistics with programming, AI basics and supporting maths. It suits students interested in language science who want practical programming skills for computational linguistics or language technology entry points.
The semester 1 curriculum includes the following modules (course codes and credit hours as listed):
The listed semester totals 18 credits. Course entries show credit values, basic contact-hour breakdown and prerequisites where indicated (no prerequisites are specified for the listed courses).
The source text provides no explicit admissions criteria for the programme. Prospective applicants should consult the university's official admissions page or admissions office for standard undergraduate entry conditions, English/Arabic language expectations, and any additional requirements.
Graduates from a linguistic engineering pathway typically move into roles that intersect language and technology, such as work on natural language processing, speech technology, language data preparation, or further study in computational linguistics. Early semesters combine language theory with programming and AI foundations that support these directions.
No programme-specific funding details are included in the source. Students should investigate university scholarships, government or private grants, and research or teaching assistant opportunities; contact the university's financial aid office for current options and application procedures.
