You will also have the opportunity to learn how to use modern translation technologies (CAT tools) and study a second foreign language (German).

The goal of the Business English study programme is to provide students with a general philological background in linguistics, cultural studies, specialised economic and legal terminology, as well as in economic and legal issues. You will attend practical English classes in which you will develop your fluency and linguistic skills, and you will learn about cultural, economic, trade and business management issues in business and culture-oriented courses. Linguistic and specialised economic courses, as well as practical training in companies, will help you prepare to become a specialist in business translation. Various practical translation exercises and specialist practical training will allow you to later work as a specialist in business communication and as a translator.
