Intercultural Communication and Translation Czech-German BA

About

The binational programme in Intercultural Communication and Translation Czech-German is offered by Leipzig University in cooperation with Charles University of Prague.

The combined range of courses offered by the Institute of Slavonic Studies, the Institute of Applied Linguistics and Translatology (Leipzig University) and the Institute of Translation Studies (Charles University of Prague) not only equips students with profound knowledge of the two languages Czech and German, but also fundamental translation skills. The aim of the programme is to train students to work in the Czech-German/German-Czech translation field and to familiarise them with the methodological instruments required to tackle translational problems. Learning outcomes include the confident use of means of expression in the two working languages, methodological and theoretical knowledge to effectively tackle typical problems in translation, the ability to independently solve problems of an academic or practical nature with a focus on a specific subject and/or vocational field, knowledge of the cultural contexts and particularities relevant to translation and interpreting, and terminological and lexicographical working methods and professional tools. Particular emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary and comparative aspects.

Special scholarships are available for the year abroad. Both universities award a diploma at the end of the degree constituting a unique qualification for the labour market in the Czech-German border region and the wider European Union.

The course equips students with knowledge of business administration, economics, politics and law that is relevant for an advanced understanding of how the energy industry works.
