The laboratory runs a variety of types of projects:

1.Industrial Research are projects funded from agreements withhealth groups or grant bodies. These projects usually have paidsoftware  engineers, computational linguists and linguists invarious  proportions with supporting students depending on the needs ofthe work.

2. Postgraduate Scholars do projects on specifictopics with the  objective of attaining their Doctorate or Masterate.They often help  out on other projects or support entries intocompetitive tasks.

3. Honours Research is performed as a projectby an honours student over  the course of a year making up 50% of theircourse work. This  preparatory work covers a broad topic to establish abackground but  the project itself focuses on a narrow task.

4.MIT Projects are done by students enrolled in our MIT degree. They  canbe a half semester load for a standard project or a 3/4 semester  loadfor a research project. As many students in the MIT degree have  anumber of years working experience in their home country theyoften  produce  very high quality results in their projects.

5.Undergraduate Projects are done in a single semester by a thirdyear  or fourth year student sometimes in pairs. The work is highlyfocused  and the aim is to produce a working piece of software thatsolves a  problem. The work can be on a research topic but often aimsto  improve some process that is already well understood or to showthat  it can be used in a different manner.

6. Summer Projectsare done over the summer months for 10 weeks.  Students apply of ascholarship which are awarded on the basis of  their academic record.The scholarship is funded by a specific  organisation for a researchproject o be done that advances knowledge  in some are of interest tothat organisation. The aim of this  programme is to introduce talentedundergraduate students into the  research process and to give themfirst hand experience at this type  of work.

7. DevelopmentProjects are completed for external organisations on a  fee for servicebasis according to a contract drawn up between the  University and theorganisation.
