Applied Languages – (B.A.)

Contents

The degree in Applied Languages is a qualification adapted to the characteristics of today's society, which is increasingly multilingual, global and digital. This course is new in Spain, although it has been on offer in other European countries for some years. First, unlike classic philology studies, this degree provides training in the productive and receptive field in two or more languages, so that graduates are able to work in professional environments in which multilingualism is an essential feature. Second, unlike linguistics or humanities, the degree in Applied Languages has a highly practical outlook, focusing on today's communication problems. Third, unlike the Translation course, which focus basically on the practice of translation, this degree is more diversified in terms of the work done in linguistics: it does not only include translation work, but also covers writing, correction and editing of texts, project management, terminology management, cultural mediation, etc. In short, the degree in Applied Languages provides multilingual, interdisciplinary and practical training for students interested in languages and their applications. It is a degree that is fully meets the requirements of the European Higher Education Area (the Bologna declaration) and is therefore officially valid throughout Europe.
