The Master's degree course in Interpreting and Translation - Interpreting Curriculum (LM-94) trains professionals with advanced skills in the various techniques and modes of interpreting (bilateral, consecutive and simultaneous) from and into two foreign languages to choose between Arabic, Chinese, French, English, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and German (with the exception of consecutive and simultaneous Chinese and Arabic, which are only available into Italian).
Together with specialised skills in different interpreting techniques, the Curriculum is designed to provide the skills required to handle complex speeches in the various fields in which the contribution of interpreters and translators is most frequently required, such as the biomedical, economic, sociopolitical, legal, IT, technical and multimedia sectors. To this end, in order to adequately address the text typologies of a wide range of specialised fields, the course enables students to acquire the techniques of documentary and terminology research that interpreters and translators usually use. The Curriculum also provides the possibility of specialising in interpretation from and into Italian sign language.
The curriculum is characterised by a strong focus on training in new technologies applied to the language professions and includes numerous laboratory activities, in-depth study of intralingual and interlingual respeaking techniques and simulations of interpreting activities in immersive environments with the support of state-of-the-art headsets.
Starting from the academic year 2024/2025, the Course allows students meeting certain requirements to access a new pathway of excellence in ‘Interpreter for the European institutions’ in cooperation with the European Commission’s DG-SCIC.
Thanks to UNINT's innovative teaching formula, students can attend both in-presence and live-stream lectures through the UNINT Everywhere platform.
Access to the degree course is free but conditioned by the possession of some requirements for initial linguistic skills. In consideration of the characteristics of the courses and the type of professional profile for which students are trained, the Curriculum represents the natural continuation of UNINT Bachelor's degree course in Languages for Interpreting and Translation (L-12) and in general of Bachelor's degree courses focused on linguistic study.
Professional profile and career opportunities
The Interpreting Curriculum trains graduates to pursue a career as conference, community, liaison and court interpreter. These professions can be practiced freelance, within interpreting and translation companies, in the public sector in national and international institutions, organisations and bodies and the private sector in national and multinational enterprises.
At the end of the Course, students will be able to:
- master advanced techniques of consecutive, simultaneous and bilateral interpretation both from the chosen foreign languages into Italian and vice versa, ensuring a fluent, accurate and immediate oral translation;
- manage highly specialised types of text in the main fields in which the contribution of interpreters and translators is required, such as politics, economics, law, health and technology;
- play a mediating role to facilitate effective communication in international contexts, thanks to a solid understanding of cultural and contextual nuances;
- competently use the most modern technologies applied to interpretation and translation, including artificial intelligence systems;
- practise, with advanced skills, active listening, rapid analysis and memorisation of information, essential to elaborate and reproduce complex speeches with precision;
- perform, with organisational skills, coordination and management functions of interdisciplinary teams engaged in intercultural communication projects.
