Course content
Translation internship aims to provide students with practical experience in line with the educational program's profile at institutions, organizations, and enterprises that provide or require translation services and/or other professional services related to the translation industry (potential employers). The internship takes place separate from theoretical studies and lasts for two weeks. It concludes with a differential pass/fail assessment, preceded by a presentation defending the experience gained during the internship. Students undertake their internships at institutions, organizations, and enterprises that require translation services or engage in related professional activities. The internship bases are institutions with which the institute has active agreements. Alternatively, students may choose other locations for their internships; in such cases, the respective institution or organization should contact the institute in advance to request the placement of a student.
