Translation Study Abroad Program

Dear students,

The Center for Translation Studies is pleased to announce that the Translation Study Abroad program (TRST 401-3 undergraduate credits; 4 graduate credits) will take place during Summer 1 2013 (May 13-27, 2013).  Titled “Translation in the European Union” the program will travel to Paris, Strasbourg and Brussels for behind-the-scenes introductions to the work of translation and interpreting in key EU institutions, including the EU Commission, the EU Parliament, the Directorate General of Translation, NATO and UNESCO.  Our students will be exposed to the dynamics of the geo-political environment of the European Union and will receive hands-on experiences with the translator and interpreter’s role as mediator and communicator in today’s European multi-lingual and multi-cultural societies.  The course will be of particular interest to students in foreign languages, cultures, linguistics, political science, global studies,  international studies, EU Studies, law, and business. The course is open to undergraduate and graduate students in any major.  The experience can lead to internships in the EU. A little known fact is that the EU is in desperate need of qualified translators who can work INTO English from EU languages.

Estimated program cost is $2500, exclusive of air fare and personal expenses. Financial aid is available.  Apply through the Study Abroad office for LAS Study Abroad Scholarships.  The Center for Translation Studies will offer a limited number of travel grants. For information on those grants, please contact Prof. Elizabeth Lowe (elowe@illinois.edu).

The application deadline is March 1, 2013.
