Upon completing this degree, you will be able to provide human confidence and a cultural perspective in any place the languages you have specialised exist. In other words, you will be contributing to global conversations with applied and applicable skills thanks to the possibility of studying a large part of your degree abroad and the 53 interpreting cabins available at our faculty. And of course you will also acquire advanced technological skills. Where better to learn the importance of machine translation and artificial intelligence, and to understand its power as well as its limits? You are probably already thinking that there is no one single way to translate a sentence and that, therefore, the human component continues to be highly relevant, in businesses, institutions, teaching centres, audiovisual production companies, multinational firms, international congresses, publishing houses and everywhere in general. Translating and interpreting represent building bridges: between people, cultures, different objectives. Bridges between languages and the way each language sees the world. If you would like to become this bridge, congratulations, that is exactly what this world needs. So come and enrol in the bachelor's degree in Translation and Interpreting and say what's on your mind... in any of the 15 languages we offer.
This bachelor's degree is aimed at:
- People who like to connect different people, those born in between two or more different cultures.
- Language-lovers, those who are passionate about languages.
- Modern nomads, those who best represent the notion of wanderlust.
- The unexpected, because languages open doors we may never even have dreamed of.
