Overview
The master study programme consolidates and expands students’ experience, knowledge and skills in field-specific technical translation. The concept of the study programme differs from similar translation study programmes in the humanities. It has an additional emphasis on applied linguistics and covers activities which concern specific practical applications. Not only linguists, but also specialists in corresponding fields of technology as well as law, participate in the implementation of the study programme.
