Master "technical translation and multilingual communication"

Starting in the winter semester 2012/13, we have the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt in Würzburg a new master's program at "technical translation and multilingual communication".

Course contentsThe study covers the entire bandwidth Translate-driven services and offers courses in the areas of technical translation, subtitling, translation tools, and project management. These seminars are for foreign language teaching, as many companies prefer rounder, who can also take care of in-house language training. A special feature of our master's degree program is the "Little Language": Our students learn an additional, less frequently taught language. So they acquire a distinctive profile and fulfill the "three language requirement" that is setting condition in some authorities.

In the first semester the focus is on the technical translation. The courses include instruction in school subjects and life sciences as well as translation exercises on topics in these subjects. This is complemented by free speech production and software localization.

In the second semester technical translations and subject teaching will continue.There are also specialist language writing and free professional language production in the Erstfachsprache. In the second semester and the classes will start in the new, third language.

The third semester focuses on project-oriented and multi-language management as well as foreign language teaching methodology.

The fourth semester is dedicated to the master thesis. However, it is offered to financial planning, leadership and quality management, and a module.

Each semester, in addition to the regular courses specialized academic elective modules are offered. Here, for example, seminars and workshops on film translation or linguistic topics can be assigned.

A full-time semester is 30 credits, normally 24 hours per week teaching.

Accreditation

The programme is completely new. However, our B.A. programme went through accreditation without problems.
