About this programme

In cooperation with the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University of Lublin (UMCS), the University of Potsdam (UP) offers a German-Polish Bachelor's programme with a profile in cultural and translation studies that is unique in both Germany and Poland. The course of study conveys a broad spectrum of specialist knowledge in the fields of cultural, literary, linguistic and translation studies. Special consideration is given to inter- and transcultural processes in German-Polish language and cultural contact, including translation as cultural transfer and media practice. A variety of practical language and translation exercises (including simultaneous interpreting, audiovisual translation, dubbing) underscore the vocational orientation of the programme. In seminars on techniques of translation and interpreting in the field of media (e.g. film) as well as of tourism, museums and memorials, the field of language-related contexts is expanded, and at the same time, opportunities for professional specialisation are opened up. The study programme also includes short-term internships in Potsdam/Berlin and Lublin.
