International Master's Programme in Translation Science and Technology Translation Science & Technology

The Master of Arts (MA) programme focuses particularly on new methodologies in language technology and empirical research. Graduates are well qualified for modern work processes involving multilingual communication. In addition, students in the programme are given intensive training in the research methods currently used in empirical language and translation science. Two other key aspects of the MA programme are its interdisciplinarity and its strong emphasis on practical applications. General linguistics, corpus linguistics and computer linguistics are part of the course, as are compulsory modules covering career-related issues and the option of writing the final-year thesis at an external company, institution or organisation. A voluntary supplementary examination also provides students with the option of honing their own personal skills and professional profiles. Working groups are small, with individual supervision.
