• Module 10. End-of-Master's Degree Project (15 ECTS)
  Translation project in the four modes of audiovisual translation in which the student will apply all the tools and strategies acquired to an audiovisual content of their choice. Students will defend their work, first partially in front of their tutors at the end of the assessable modules and then in front of a panel of experts and working professionals, and must demonstrate a level of competence in the four areas that will enable them to face the job market in any of them.

Work placements are a key element in your training. Gaining experience after what you have learnt in your degree is the best way to enter the labour market.

To do an internship in a company, you will need to have passed 50% of the credits and enrol in the course before starting your internship. These internships are monitored by the company and the internship teacher, as well as the completion of interim and final reports for evaluation.

This programme is practical from day One. Even so, the internships in companies and with professional translators will help you to learn more about certain aspects of the profession, such as the dynamics of assignments, the relationship with dubbing studios, time management, budgets, invoicing and coordination.

Once the curricular internships have been completed, it is possible to do extracurricular internships in consultation with the Internship Department.

Our students are graduates and final-year students of Translation, Philology, Audiovisual Communication, Advertising, Journalism, as well as professionals with a good command of at least two languages.

In short, they are people with a passion for languages and who are attracted to audiovisual translation in one of its specialities (dubbing, subtitling, subtitling for the deaf, audio description, video game translation).
