Welcome to the website of English Translation!

English Translation studies provide students with excellent oral and written skills in both English and Finnish. The comprehensive studies are designed to produce experts of language and culture.

Studying English translation and interpretation requires excellent language proficiency.

In addition to translation and interpretation skills, the core competencies of the programme include cultural understanding and a knowledge of linguistic and translation theory. A number of specialized courses provide students with particular skills required to translate in fields such as technology, commerce and law. Authentic translation, interpretation and language consultation assignments prepare students for working life.

Students are primarily trained to become translators and interpreters. The studies also prepare students for expert tasks in international communication and research. Document translators work in the private and public sectors, translation agencies or as freelancers. Literature translators work mainly in publishing houses. Today, there is an increasing demand for television and film translators. Interpreters primarily find work in conferences, tourism, in the service of the EU and in international companies.
