Technologies in Translation and Interpreting (in English)
Short presentation of the programme:
The programme is a joint Erasmus Mundus Master's Degree developed under the Erasmus+ Project, a key activity of KA1, in consortium with the universities of Wolverhampton, UK and Málaga, Spain. It aims to prepare a new generation of translators capable of effectively dealing with the high demands of the profession: technically literate specialists familiar with the latest developments in language technology, translation problems, translation and interpretation technologies and electronic language resources to help the translator. The programme offers theoretical courses in Structural, Corpus and Computational Linguistics and Translation problems, however, its focus is predominantly practical.
