Location of Pompeu Fabra University
Translation and interpretation are areas of increasing interest. The globalisation process, the expansion of new technologies, the increase in education, together with the interest in democratising political systems, has increased the need for translation and interpretation, as well as the need for the production of computerised linguistic resources (translation programmes, terminological vocabulary, document forms, etc.), and as such professionals specialising in these areas are increasingly in demand. The degree in Translation and Interpretation provides modern training in this growing professional sector, and emphasises the most important aspects of philological studies (grammar, literary tradition, etc.) and the new linguistic disciplines (discourse analysis, terminology, computer linguistics).
Contents
The degree in Translation and Interpretation is fully adapted to the European Higher Education Area and to the agreements reached in the Bologna declaration, and as such it is a degree that is officially valid all over Europe. The subjects are counted as European credits (ECTS), which measure both class hours and the work done by student on their own account.
