Applying to Berkeley NLP

Prospective PhD Students

Thank you for your interest in our lab! Please apply through the EECS Ph.D. admissions process, select AI-LANG, and clearly list your desired advisor(s) in your application. We unfortunately do not have the capacity to meet with prospective students prior to the application process, but we look forward to hearing from you after you have been admitted!

We refer students to the blog post student perspectives on applying to NLP PhD programs for advice on how to prepare a strong application to Berkeley NLP.

Undergraduate and Masters Students

We recruit undergraduate researchers at all class levels, though a background in AI, machine learning, and/or linguistics is preferred. We typically interview new undergraduate researchers at the beginning of the semester. Please see each individual professor's website for application links.

We have compiled a list of resources to help you better navigate available NLP resources inside/outside Berkeley, and build up skills relevant to research in our group.
