Interpreting

The master’s programme in interpreting trains highly qualified interpreters that are experts in establishing communication, mostly between members of different cultures and languages.

Graduating from the programme enables interpreters to professionally face current market demands and adapt to future needs. Interpreters can create a spoken or multimedia text from a written, spoken, or multimedia original, which fulfils a particular goal in the target language (Slovenian or two other languages) or culture. By using appropriate techniques, they are able to interpret business, professional, and political texts consecutively, in whispering interpretation (chuchotage), and simultaneously. They are trained to work independently and in a group, which they perform based on professional principles and in line with professional ethics at the national and international level. The languages offered are Slovenian, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Croatian, as well as Slovenian Sign Language.

The programme also provides advanced skills in translation and interpreting theory, providing graduates with their own understanding of theoretical principles and evaluation of them, as well as the ability to apply them in their work and to identify and solve problems that they will face as trained interpreters. The programme produces graduates highly qualified in interpreting theory, thus enabling them to continue their education at the doctoral level.
