Overview
The master’s degree in Translation and Interpreting (TI) aims to train professionals with specific linguistic skills in the field of interpretation and translation, both specialised and literary, who are able to use IT 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.
