After graduating with a degree in Language Science and Technology, you can work as:
- A linguist
Linguists find employment in a range of companies that provide linguistic services, such as document editing, product localisation and grammar. Linguists also assist in building natural language processing tools, serve as language consultants, manage language databases and develop artificial intelligence tools.
- A copy editor
A copy editor edits documents and texts with regard to style, syntax, grammatical correctness. This specialist can find employment in advertising agencies, publishing houses and companies that produce content and marketing materials.
- A technical writer
A technical writer develops written content on a specific topic for companies and organizations (e.g., training materials, product specifications, consumer instructions), and conducts research on new products.
- A copywriter
A copyrighter writes texts designed to encourage customers to purchase a company’s products or use its services (e.g., social media content, online articles, press releases, marketing materials).
- A language specialist
A language specialist provides translation or interpreting services, usually with a specialization in a particular field, e.g. law, medicine, environment. Also, a language specialist assists in the process of editing and translation by identifying information or prior publications, which facilitates preparation of high-quality translations.
- A computational linguist
A computational linguist uses language and computer science to find solutions to technical problems, specialising in areas related to artificial intelligence and machine translation. Computational linguists may work both in a commercial organisation as well as in a research centre, where they participate in international projects focused on research and its application in creating new products.
- A language researcher
Language researchers participate in projects aimed at investigating various aspects of language processing and production. They experimentally test theoretical hypotheses using neurolinguistic methods such as oculography or EEG, and develop language databases, corpora and tools for their analysis.
