Course contents

The Master's Degree programme in Translation and Interpreting (TI) is designed to shape professionals with specific linguistic skills in the field of interpreting and translation, both specialised and literary, capable of using computer and multimedia techniques and tools. Studies in translation, understood not only as communication but also as a primary form of mediation, address the most diverse linguistic-literary and socio-cultural issues from a comparative, intercultural and inclusive perspective.

The course is divided into two distinct curricula:

1. Chinese-English-Italian Translation and Interpreting;
2. English-Spanish, English-Italian Sign Language (LIS), Spanish-Italian Sign Language (LIS) Specialised Translation.

However, the two curricula have some shared subjects and provide the possibility of choosing, to a certain extent, subjects from the other curriculum, in order to create mixed courses. The English-Spanish specialised translation curriculum also includes a course dedicated to Italian sign language and related interpretation and translation techniques.

The course is aimed at Bachelor graduates who are already proficient in Chinese language and culture or English/Spanish language and culture and Italian sign language, and wish to pursue the specific study of interpreting and translation techniques and the cultural subjects that form an essential foundation for them. The two curricula lead respectively to the career of interpreter/translator for the English-Chinese-Italian combination and to the career of specialised translator for the English-Spanish and English-Spanish-ILS combinations.

Given that Chinese is taught as a first language in only three universities in Italy, a comparison with the other two courses in the same class shows that Ca' Foscari's Master's degree programme is the only one to offer a course that integrates translation and interpreting skills (including consecutive and simultaneous interpreting), and the only one to offer the Chinese-English language combination in addition to Chinese-Italian. With regard to the English-Spanish, English-Italian Sign Language (LIS), Spanish-Italian Sign Language (LIS) Specialised Translation curriculum, English and Spanish stand out as the most widely spoken languages internationally, and the most in demand in the professional translator's field at all levels. In addition, the Italian sign language course is also unique in Italy. The integration of teaching in the two main European languages and in the most widely spoken non-European language into a single Master's degree programme, together with specialisation in both translation and interpreting, makes this educational programme complete and interesting.
