The Master's Degree in Medical and Healthcare Translation of the Universitat Jaume I (UJI), directed by Professor Vicent Montalt, has obtained, for the third consecutive year, the renewal of its accreditation in the European Masters in Translation Network (EMT Network), promoted by the Directorate General for Translation of the European Commission. This network of excellence identifies higher education programmes that meet professional standards and market requirements. In the case of Spain, only eight master's degree programmes from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Granada, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Alcalá de Henares, Salamanca, Tarragona and Vigo, as well as the UJI, are members of the network.

In response to the need for highly specialised training in scientific and technical translation, the Faculty of Translation and Communication at the Universitat Jaume I launched this master's degree as a UJI-specific postgraduate course in the academic year 2003-2004. In the 2007-2008 academic year, it became a university master's degree. The master's degree, which is taught entirely online, has two specialisation paths (professionalisation and research) that aim to respond to the new needs of medical and health communication in an intercultural and interlinguistic environment.

Members of the EMT network are selected through competitive calls for applications organised every five years. The programmes must meet a number of criteria and requirements relevant to the training of quality translation professionals. These criteria and requirements include compliance with the competency framework developed by the EMT Network itself, job placement data (which are very positive for this master's degree), graduation support measures such as career guidance, internships, post-graduation career monitoring, and employment statistics. It also takes into account cooperation with international higher education institutions or participation in national networks, an efficient quality assurance system or research activities.

In their report, the EMT evaluators highlighted that the UJI's Master's Degree in Medical and Healthcare Translation is a highly structured and comprehensive programme with strong links to both foreign universities and industry; that it has a clear focus on a highly specialised field: medical and healthcare translation; that it effectively prepares students for the labour market and provides on-the-job training through quality internships; that the teaching team is solid and diverse, with participation from the UJI and other universities as well as renowned professionals; and that it produces relevant research results.

The EMT Network is a quality label for university translation programmes. Its main objective is to improve the quality of translator training in order to enhance the integration of young language professionals into the labour market.

At the heart of the project is the EMT Competence Framework, developed by European experts, which defines the core competences that translators need to be successful in today's market. By training highly qualified translators in close cooperation with the language industry, EMT aims to raise the status of the translation profession as a whole in the EU.

EMT members meet regularly to exchange best practice and work together on specific projects to innovate their curricula and teaching methods. One of the highlights of the EMT network is the opportunity it provides for students to undertake placements in their institutions and get to know them from the inside. Links are also established with the language industry to keep abreast of the latest developments in language teaching.
