Career paths
This Program enables professionals to work in the production of scholarship and in professional settings (in the fields where translation and terminology are applied; scientific and technological institutions, businesses, education, etc.).
The training this Program provides will be increasingly sought after considering that businesses and other organizations identify increasing need to respond to multilingual communication and face a vast array of challenges in the creation, management and updating of terminology and documentation, in general.
The advanced training provided by this course will thus represent an asset for all those who address these needs, both nationally and internationally, in public and private entities, as there are still scarce human resources with advanced professional end research competencies in these areas.
