Spanish Specialised Translation
A.Y. 2023/2024
Learning objectives
The course provides a critical overview of translation theories, with focus on specialized and multimedia translation. Practical translation skills will also be trained.
In line with the multidisciplinary nature of the programme, translation will be taught as an inherently transcultural process and product of mediation. For this purpose, classes will be a combination of hands-on job-oriented training and critical reflection on culture contact, in order to develop skills and competences that can be harnessed in other professional areas, as well.
