Many companies and government agencies now look for qualified and trained translators. These certifications will give students solid, basic and advanced skills in specialized translation, interpreting and related fields such as terminology and linguistic revision. Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Russian are the main source languages. English is the target language. Other language pairs may be arranged.
Courses address theoretical and pragmatic aspects of linguistic services.
The certificate programs may be complemented by existing courses in grammar, composition, phonetics, stylistics, literature, and civilization given in the Foreign Languages Department. Through practical workshops and theoretical discussions, you will become more knowledgeable about the world of translation and interpretation. The internship or freelance work is a fundamental part of the program. The freelance experience leads to a portfolio. This enables students to claim real work experience with the certificate.
