BA in Translation

THE BA PROGRAM

The BA in Translation offers vocational training in translation into the mother tonge and into a foreign language, and develops skills applicable to diverse text types, including literary, scientific, technical and audiovisual texts as well as the command of computer assisted translation tools and technologies. It aims to meet a growing demand in the Portuguese and international markets, by developing linguistic and technical knowledge, as well as skills for intercultural mediation and critical reflection on translation.

Enrollment

For more information on enrollment procedures, see the page.

Academic Year

The academic year at the School of Arts and Humanities is organized in semesters with 14 weeks.

- Semester 1: September to December

- Semester 2: January to May

- Summer Semester: June and July (non-teaching activities)

The first weeks of September are dedicated to welcoming new students (1st year, 1st time) and students in international mobility. The welcome weeks include various activities such as guided tours of the School buildings and the University of Lisbon Alameda campus. They also provide support in the construction of an academic path (choice of courses for enrollment semesters 1 and 2) and a weekly schedule, and useful information to facilitate the students' academic and social life (accommodation, canteens, extra-curricular activities, sports, volunteering, etc.).

Workload – full-time and part-time

The workload of the study plans is calculated for a full-time university student. It is expressed in European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) credits, which correspond to the estimated working time. One ECTS credit corresponds to 25-28 hours of work. These working hours include contact hours (in-house or online classes), individual or collective tutorials or office hours as well as hours of autonomous study and work. Thus, it is possible to estimate the working time corresponding to each course (6 to 12 ECTS), semester (30 ECTS), and academic year (60 ECTS).

Students can opt for a full-time (60 ECTS/year) or part-time (up to 30 ECTS/year) enrollment. Students opting for parti-time enrollment benefit from a reduced annual tuition fee and a specific course duration rule. For further information on assessment, see the Student Assessment Regulations of the School of Arts and Humanities of the University of Lisbon (RAE).

Holidays

The Academic Year includes three holiday periods: Christmas, Easter and Summer holidays. During the holidays, students may have to leave their university accommodation. A university student is expected to use part of this time for further reading, to consolidate knowledge, or to prepare for the following semester, or develop research autonomously.

Exam week - alternative final assessment

The School of Arts and Humanities follows the continuous assessment method. It is therefore expected that the student regularly contributes for the assessment. This involves active participation during classes or office hours, and the completion of all the planned elements of assessment (tests, exercises, oral and written assignments, oral presentations, among others).

Some students who fail the continuous assessment have a second chance to successfully complete a course by enrolling in the exams. The alternative final assessment period, or exam week, is scheduled in January for Semester 1 and in May for Semester 2.

Full-Time or Part-Time Students

Students can opt for a full-time enrollment, attending c. 10 courses per year (60 ECTS/year); or they may opt for a part-time enrollment, attending 3-5 courses per year (up to 30 ECTS/year). The student enrolled part-time completes courses per year, thus has more time to complete the degree and pays reduced annual tuition fees.

For further information, please refer to the By-Laws of Part-Time Students of the University of Lisbon.

The workload of the curriculum is calculated for a full-time university student. It is expressed in European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) credits, which correspond to the estimated working time. Thus, it is possible to estimate the working time corresponding to each course (6 to 12 ECTS), semester (30 ECTS), and academic year (60 ECTS).

One ECTS credit corresponds to 25-28 hours of work. These working hours include contact hours (in-house or online classes), individual or collective tutorials or office hours as well as hours of autonomous study and work.
