The curriculum is designed for first-year students of the educational level "Master", who have successfully mastered the bachelor's degree program and received the appropriate degree.

The aim of the discipline is to form and to improve general and professional competencies required for interpreting and written translation of texts belonging to different fields and genres; to study the main types of translation equivalents based on work with a wide array of texts. The course aims to deepen translation skills, taking into account lexical, grammatical and genre-stylistic features inherent in different industries and fields. Practical training is provided by working with texts that 1) cover the main elements of international politics, socio-political and economic activities; 2) represent scientific, popular science and technical style; 3) belong to the field of art, literature, academia and documentaries; 4) allow to deepen knowledge of the state, political and legal system of Ukraine, Great Britain, the USA and the EU in the context of translation. Teaching and assessment are in English and Ukrainian.
