Master's in Computational Linguistics for NLP/ML/AI Engineering Roles

A Master's in Computational Linguistics is a highly specialized and valuable degree, especially with the boom in AI and Large Language Models. Don't limit your search to just 'Computational Linguist' roles. Your skills are directly applicable to NLP Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer (with an NLP focus), Data Scientist (especially with text data), AI Researcher, and even emerging roles like Prompt Engineer. Broaden your job search, build a strong portfolio of practical NLP/ML projects (from your thesis, coursework, or personal projects), and highlight your Python programming skills and experience with libraries like NLTK, spaCy, Hugging Face, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.
