Students doing a Master [120] in Translation may undertake a study visit abroad, which must take place during the first term in the second annual block of the Master’s programme.
During the exchange, students must take 30 course credits in another university either in Flanders or abroad, substituting the courses normally included in their programme, and may receive a grant (Belgica, Erasmus+, FAME/Mercator), depending on their destination.
Master [120] in Translation students must also undertake a three-month, full-time internship in a company or organisation in Belgium or abroad (the language spoken on the internship will be one of the two languages studied).
The internship will take place during the second term in the second year of the Master’s programme. When students do their internship abroad, they may receive an Erasmus+, Belgica or Mercator grant.
