Programme Description
This programme introduces students to the central concepts and the analytic techniques in speech science and language processing. It deals with how speech is produced and used in communication, looks at the inherent structure of language, and deals both with theoretical issues and with the practical skills needed to analyse and model the processes involved.
As the programme is situated at an intersection of disciplines, applicants are invited from a variety of disciplines, including engineering, computer science, linguistics, psychology, speech pathology and related areas. The programme is intended to provide a foundation for further research and has close links to related ongoing research projects in the School.
This course aims to introduce students to techniques of speech science and language processing: to proceed from this basis to more advanced study of central topics in seech science and language processing; via the dissertation component to introduce students to research in speech science and language processing.
