جامعة القاهرة (مصر)
Online only
Pioneering postgraduate program bridging classical Arabic grammar, computational lexicography, and modern natural language processing with Cairo University. Students earn 2 independent accredited diplomas with a 60% / 40% international credit split. MSc Computational Arabic Linguistics & NLP (Cairo University Dual Award) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from Methods in MSc Computational Arabic Linguistics & NLP through Methods in MSc Computational Arabic Linguistics & NLP; Cases in MSc Computational Arabic Linguistics & NLP; Practice in MSc Computational Arabic Linguistics & NLP; Project in MSc Computational Arabic Linguistics & NLP; Methods in MSc Computational Arabic Linguistics & NLP (MSC-605); Cases in MSc Computational Arabic Linguistics & NLP (MSC-606), and finish on Cases in MSc Computational Arabic Linguistics & NLP (MSC-606). Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students specify a small system, show how it was tested, and state how it fails. Reading is a specification, a test note, and an incident or post-mortem. The artefact a marker expects is a specification or reviewed component with tests and a trade-off note. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Dual Master of Science in Computational Linguistics & Arabic AI Building morphological analyzers and dialectal tokenizers for Arabic Supervised by leading Arabic grammarians and AI computer scientists Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

| MSC-601 | Methods in MSc Computational Arabic Linguistics & NLP Methods in MSc Computational Arabic Linguistics & NLP (MSC-601) is a 6-credit course on MSc Computational Arabic Linguistics & NLP (Cairo University Dual Award), with 60 notional learning hours. By the end, students can specify a small system, show how it was tested, and state how it fails, using Methods in MSc Computational Arabic Linguistics & NLP as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a specification, a test note, and an incident or post-mortem. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a specification or reviewed component with tests and a trade-off note. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.

Modules are assessed through a published mix of coursework, applied projects, and examinations. Exam windows are announced in advance so students in other time zones are not forced into overnight sittings. Alternative arrangements are available where documented.
The published duration is 18 months. Teaching language: Arabic / English. Actual time-to-complete depends on mode and any recognised prior learning.
This is a fully online award. You study from your country. No student visa and no campus relocation are required.
Degree tuition for this award is published as £0 / tuition-free on the online pathway. Examination or administrative fees may apply at checkout — never an annual tuition invoice. Check the Fees page for any extras.
Requirements are grouped on this page (academic, English, documents). Equivalent qualifications are considered. English may be waived after prior English-medium study.
Assessment is typically a mix of coursework, projects, and examinations. Doctoral awards include a thesis or dissertation and an oral examination. Details sit in the programme specification and module outlines.
Recognition of the award for local employment, professional licence, or ministry attestation is decided by your employer or regulator. Arab Leadership University publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
