Study programmes

Charakteristika studijního programu: PŘEKLADATELSTVÍ (ČEŠTINA – ANGLIČTINA) pro veřejnost – anglický jazyk
The full-time MA study of TRANSLATION (CZECH AND ENGLISH) offers both the theoretical background to translation and practical translator training, developing the skills needed for professional or academic career and creative work. As part of a two-subject degree programme it can be combined with any field of humanities that itself enables such a combination. While building in particular on the knowledge and skills taught in the BA programme English for Intercultural Communication, it is also open to graduates in similar disciplines, especially those with a philological focus.
The Institute of Translation Studies is a member of the European Master´s in Translation Network. The curriculum of TRANSLATION (CZECH AND ENGLISH) bears witness to this fact by putting emphasis not only on standard translating skills demanded by the labour market but also on the supranational dimension of the field and the graduates´ ability to work in international translation teams.
The general focus of the MA programme is on the practical application of professional and academic skills: apart from classroom activity this includes e.g. work placements in Czech and international institutions (the latter in the framework of ERASMUS+) or the presentation of student projects at the annual St Jerome´s Days (Jeronýmovy dny), a professional event organized by the Union of Translators and Interpreters. The students are also encouraged to participate in translating competitions such as the Jiří Levý Competition, held annually by the Czech Translators´ Guild, and in project-oriented courses of literary and non-literary translation, which are based on collaboration with Czech publishing houses.
MA graduates with a degree in TRANSLATION (CZECH AND ENGLISH) can continue their studies in the doctoral programme Translation Studies or other, related doctoral programmes at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, or other Czech and international higher education institutions.
