This study programme is based on practical sessions. The education and social-emotional skills acquired at university, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, courage and determination, develop and shape a young person in many ways and enable them to pursue the careers of their dreams.
KTU technical translation studies are applicable to a wide range of fields and offer a lot of flexibility. For me, this education has opened up many opportunities – from translation to working in strategic companies such as the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant. What I liked most was that the studies were not only about language, but also about technology, precision science and real industry.
When hiring employees we prefer graduates from this particular study programme. Professionals who have been nurtured by this institution tend to stand out in terms of their proficiency in linguistic processes and forms of technology which are essential when it comes to meeting the needs of the global market. From the perspective of soft skills, I should mention motivation to work, a readiness to overcome challenges, and also critical thinking.
This programme is only available in Lithuanian and all teaching, coursework and examinations are conducted in this language.
Yes, translation is an attractive and flexible career because the present-day translation professional is more than just a translator. It is a professional who has successfully mastered translation technology and artificial intelligence. The advantage of this profession is not only the flexible working hours but also the possibility to work from anywhere in the world.
Yes, you can work as an English translator after graduating from the Translation of Technical Texts programme. But this programme also opens up other career paths. You can also translate from a second foreign language, which you will study from the first year. It gives you the knowledge and skills to learn translation strategies and work with specialist software. It’s the right career for anyone with an interest in languages, technology and international cooperation.
