Knowledge of the fundamentals of linguistics and translation studies, proficiency in written and oral translation skills, and German language proficiency at a level not lower than C1.1.

The course is a mandatory component of the training cycle for modern translators and cultural mediators. Its aim is to familiarize students with the main theories in the field of translation studies and their application in practical professional and research activities. The discipline provides a broad view of the phenomenon of translation and its critique, covering various aspects from translation stages and procedures to the social roles in the translation field and possible manipulative functions of translation critique. The main focus is on the works and theories of contemporary German and English-speaking translation scholars, developing students' skills in working with foreign-language scientific texts and cultivating a critical understanding of scholarly works. Each theory is tested through the analysis of practical material.
