Further information

A study in a minor subject is worth 15 ECTS.

English Translation students can complete their thesis studies in their major degree studies, or alternatively in the Technical Communications Programme. Students completing their thesis studies in Technical Communications will take the MA Thesis Seminar TRENST13 in the Technical Communications Programme and write their pro gradu thesis in their major subject about a topic concerning a field in technical communication. If a pro gradu thesis is written on a topic concerning technical communication, the responsibility for guidance falls to the hands of the lecturer of the Technical Communications Programme and a professor in Translation Studies (English). More information can be found in the curricula of the major subjects. The specialisation programme is a part of the freely selected studies of the Master's degree.
