The Masters in Translation involves both academic research and the practice of translation in two specialized languages (German and English), with curricular units that articulate and complement each other: Translation Studies, History and Theory of Translation, Comparative Linguistics, Information Technology for Translation, Literary Translation, Pragmatic Translation, Scientific Translation and Technical Translation.

Both research work and the practice of translation are evident not only in the various curricular units making up the taught component of the course, but also in the available options for the non-taught component: dissertation, project work and internship report.

The course is taught in Portuguese and English.
