The University of Iceland and Reykjavik University are planning to launch a joint Master's program in Language Technology next fall. This will be a two year interdisciplinary program (120 ECTS credits), and the students must either have a BA degree in the humanities (languages and linguistics) or a BS degree in computer science or related subjects (such as electrical and computer engineering). Students with background in the humanities have to take at least 30 ECTS credits in computer science, whereas students with a background in computer science have to take at least 30 ECTS credits in Icelandic language and linguistics.

Furthermore, both groups of students take obligatory courses in Language Technology, at least 36 ECTS credits. They also have the possibility of taking some of these courses at foreign universities, especially those participating in the NGSLT. 

To get their degree, the students must write a Master's thesis (30 or 60 ECTS credits), which is supposed to be done in cooperation with a research institute or a private company working on language technology.
