The Master's Degree in Technical-Scientific Translation and Interpreting is the ideal continuation of the Three-Year Degree in Science and Technique of Linguistic Mediation, but also a particularly attractive training path for students coming from other three-year degree courses, who possess linguistic skills and knowledge equal to level C1 for English and B1 or B2 (depending on the choice) for the other language of study, if chosen.
The course is divided into three curricula from which the student is required to choose at the time of enrollment: 1) Unisalento curriculum, 2) double-degree curriculum Unisalento-Essex (UK), 3) double-degree curriculum Unisalento-ASMU (Iran). The study plan essentially offers the same subjects in the three curricula, but those admitted to the double degree curricula will complete their second year of studies at the partner university, obtaining two degrees.
Regardless of the chosen curriculum, the Master's Degree has as its fundamental objective the training of professional figures capable of operating in a specialized manner in the field of translation for languages, or the language, object of curricular study, as well as liaison and consecutive interpretation (with note-taking) for the English language.
The educational objectives are pursued through the study, at a specialized level, of the English language and of the second foreign language, where chosen by the student, of linguistics and of the most recent translation theories and practices, which put the student in the position to operate effectively also with the aid of the latest generation software in the sector. In the Unisalento program, particular attention is dedicated to translation for tourism and for the medical field and to audiovisual translation.
