Natural language is ubiquitous and is used by people all around the world to communicate and share their ideas. Natural language processing (NLP) has tremendous potential for developing technology which allows everyone to interact with computers unlocking a range of possible applications.

The UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in NLP is jointly run by the School of Informatics and the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences (PPLS) and is funded by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI). 

We aim is to equip students with the fundamental skills for advanced research in NLP and language science, giving them foundations in: linguistics, machine learning, statistics, algorithms, programming, working with other modalities such as vision and design, ethics, and responsible innovation as they apply to NLP systems.
