There is no need to choose a minor in your first semester or to inform the examination office about it
If you're changing minors and there are grades eligible for recognition please contact the examination office.
Please note that computer science adjacent subject areas, such as DSAI, Media Informatics, Bioinformatics and Cybersecurity cannot be selected as a minor subject.

If you have questions regarding the study programme Computational Linguistics, please send them by email to studienberatung (at) coli.uni-saarland.de.
Students of computer science are expected to select modules that deal with computational linguistics and not computer science/informatics. They should therefore not take
- Programming courses
- Software projects
- Mathematische Grundlagen: Logik [Fundamentals of Mathematics: Logic]
- Mathematische Grundlagen: Formale Sprachen und Automaten [Fundamentals of Mathematics: Formal Languages and Automata]
- Mathematische Grundlagen: Analysis und lineare Algebra [Fundamentals of Mathematics: Analysis and Linear Algebra]
- Computerlinguistische Algorithmen [Algorithms for Computational Linguistics]
We recommend taking modules from the following list:
- Einführung in die Computerlinguistik [Introduction to Computational Linguistics], 3 credits
- Einführung in die Psycholinguistik [Introduction to Psycholinguistics], 3 credits
- Einführung in Syntax und Morphologie [Introduction to Syntax and Morphology], 6 credits
- Einführung in die formale Semantik [Introduction to Formal Semantics], 6 credits
- Einführung in Pragmatik und Diskurs [Introduction to Pragmatics and Discourse Analysis], 3 credits
- Einführung in die Phonetik und Phonologie [Introduction to Phonetics and Phonology], 6 credits
- Grammatikformalismen [Grammar Formalisms], 6 credits
- Proseminare [Introductory Seminars], 5 credits
- Linguistic Diversity, 3 credits
Students must earn 18 ECTS credits, of which at least 9 credits are graded (see Study Regulations 2015 and 2020).
Computer Science students who select Computational Linguistics as their supplementary subject should note that
modules or courses that are offered by teaching staff from the Department of Computer Science
programming courses or software projects
any other module or course from the Computational Linguistics curriculum whose content is more closely associated with computer science than with computational linguistics cannot be used to meet the academic requirements of the subsidiary subject.
If case of doubt, please contact the Computational Linguistics programme adviser (Dr. Stefan Thater) for clarification.

Students who wish to take mathematics as their subsidiary subject, are required to take the following modules (in place of the normal sequence of lecture courses MFI I/II/III [Mathematics for Computer Science Students I/II/III])
- Lineare Algebra I/II, 9+9 credits
- Analysis I/II, 9+9 credits
- MFI III [Mathematics for Computer Science Students III] or another module in the field of mathematics worth 9 credits
If a student decides that they no longer wish to continue studying mathematics as their subsidiary subject, the following equivalency rules shall apply:
- Analysis 1 = MFI I [Analysis 1 = Mathematics for Computer Science Students I]
- Lineare Algebra 1 = MFI II [Linear Algebra 1= Mathematics for Computer Science Students II]
- Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie und Statistik = MFI III [Probability Theory and Statistics = Mathematics for Computer Science Students III]
