seminar grade, exam, reportCredits: 2 Course format: full-time, part-timeCourse objectives: Translating from their first foreign language into Hungarian aids students in translating into Hungarian from a second foreign language such that the texts are correct both grammatical and content-wise. Practising reading for gist, specific information and detailed information helps the translator to develop their skills in comprehending texts more deeply at a level necessary in translating. Such skills have already been developed in the first foreign language and develop in the second.

Course coordinator: Dr. habil. Dobos Csilla, Associate ProfessorOptimal semester: Fourth (spring) Preconditions: -No. of lessons/week: 4/week Requirements of accomplishment: signature,

seminar grade, exam, reportCredits: 3 Course format: full-time, part-timeCourse objectives: The primary purpose of the course is to provide students opportunities to step out of the boundaries of the institution, and directly tap into different segments of the translation market by providing opportunities for real translation situations. During their internships the students will be in contact with various customers applying their training in the performance of specific professional assignments.Detailed course programme: In our programme a four-week internship is a compulsory part of the curriculum. It cannot be only shadowing and observation but it needs to be a hands-on or full-responsibility internship with translation and terminology tasks. We do not have a regulation about the timing of the position: the students can decide on their own whether they want to fulfil the requirement in the first or second year of their training. We offer different internship partners for the students (companies and translation offices), but students are also encouraged to look for other possible internship places. Students usually sign a confidentiality agreement with the company where the internship is carried out. It is always a matter between the two parties, the given company and the students, whether or not the company will financially compensate for the internship work.Course requirements: At the end of each internship we ask the students to provide a report of their tasks according to previously agreed upon aspects of their work. It is an analysis of their responsibilities and experiences.Evaluation: Evaluation is made according to the feedback and evaluation of the company about the activities of the students. Grades: (1–5).
