"The Translation programme offers you the opportunity to learn how to translate texts and learn about translation technologies and tools; and how to justify your translation solutions for future clients. You will have the opportunity to choose a specialisation (such as literary, multimodal and subtitling, legal and/or medical translation). In our programme, you are also able to do an internship at a national or international company and do research on a topic of your interest for your thesis. Translation labs and interactive classrooms simulate work environments and mirror the challenges that you can encounter in the language industry."

“All of our courses combine theory and practice. This way, students gain the practical experience they need for their future career as a professional translator, editor or project manager, while they also reflect on translation problems from an academic perspective, gaining in-depth knowledge of relevant theories and methods from a wide range of disciplines. The same is true for our use of technology: students are taught to use professional CAT tools, but also to consider the ethical implications of using translation memories or machine translation.”
