“First, I was studying in another program, but I realized it wasn’t my vocation. I discovered my passion was everything that related to languages. Moreover, every time I traveled I felt very identified and learned about new cultures. So, researching about UPC, I decided to enroll in the Professional Translation and Interpretation program because I found out about the benefits it offers, such as conferences and seminars, in addition to taking program-specific courses since the first semester.”

“I made up my mind to study translation because I liked my English course at school. I attended translation conferences where I was explained more about the program and was able to understand it was related to languages and learning about other cultures. Now I can say the courses are very thorough. Professors explain clearly and are organized, and know a lot of things I can learn from.”

“Thanks to this career, professionals in other fields are able to share their knowledge: if a researcher in Peru discovers something new, he or she wouldn’t be able to share it with the world if it weren’t for us. That is why I think it is an important career which joins people and cultures. I chose UPC because its curriculum was the most interesting to me. It focuses both on the translator and the interpreter, and addresses the new market needs, like audiovisual translation.”

“The learning experience at UPC is very comprehensive. In addition to being able to choose among several languages, we can learn about culture, deontology, linguistics and translation history. Thanks to my education I went on an immersion trip to Nazareth College in New York. Now, my goal is to specialize in dubbing and subtitling.”
