Title: Translation and terminology (French – English)
Specialization: French
Duration: 1-year
Degree: Master’s degree

This specialization is meant for the graduates of the module of terminology and translation theories, which has been operational for a few years in the Faculty of Letters and which includes the 3rd year students of the sections of French and English.

The students involved in this program have the opportunity of improving the theoretical and practical knowledge they acquired during the previous years and, in the end, are awarded a diploma attesting their quality as translators and terminologists.

The subjects studied in this program aim at building the students’ ability to translate specialized texts (especially legal and technical texts), to elaborate technical documents and correspondence, as well as to create a data basis in a particular field as support for compiling dictionaries or for drawing up other documents necessary in the specialized translation. It must be mentioned that the study of terminology and terminography as fundamental disciplines represents a novelty in the university education. Terminology and terminography have been introduced into the curriculum of the most important Romanian universities only recently, but they are regarded as relatively new disciplines even at European level. The data bases are built by means of the computer, computer science being a compulsory subject in this specialization. The curriculum for this section is presented below:
