Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a fast-growing area of artificial intelligence that enables machines to interpret and work with human language. From chatbots to translation tools and text analysis, NLP underpins a wide range of modern technologies.

This 6-week, Level 9 micro-credential gives you a practical introduction to the fundamentals of NLP. You’ll explore how machines analyse text, classify language, correct spelling, and recognise sentiment, using techniques such as tokenisation, n-gram modelling and Naïve Bayes classification.

This module is ideal for those working in or transitioning into AI, machine learning, data science, or computer linguistics.

This module is associated Natural Language Processing - Professional Diploma and Artificial Intelligence - MSc (Online). It can be taken as a standalone micro-credential or as part of a pathway to a larger award.
