To achieve these different aspects of our program as effectively as possible, translation and introductory courses in specialist fields are provided by professional translators and experts in the field concerned. These orientations are relayed by the organization of a professional translation internship, lasting 12 weeks, organized in a company or in a national or international institution. Finally, students will present a thesis in translation, subtitling, voice-over, terminology or translation studies, depending on the chosen orientation.
