What is CSL?
The CSL degree course is one of the most interdisciplinary
offered by the University, bridging both science and arts, and its
different strands foster a wide range of talents, from analytical
problem-solving in computer science and mathematics to
analysis of theories and data from linguistics, to fluency and
cultural awareness in the language component. In computer
science, students learn the underlying fundamentals of computer
software and computer-related mathematics. Advanced areas
of study include software engineering and artificial intelligence.
Linguistics is the scientific study of languages in general. This
cognitive science explores the internal properties of languages
(constraints on syntax, semantics and sound patterns), the
process of human language acquisition, and sociological
factors that impinge on language use and languages in contact.
The chosen language (French, German or Irish) is studied to
degree level, with emphasis on aural, oral and written fluency.
Computational linguistics is a discipline that unites the three
strands of this course. Students choose their year abroad, as
well as third and fourth year projects and options to allow them
to shape their major focus within one of the three strands of the
degree, or within computational linguistics.
