The aim of the programme is:
• to educate highly qualified specialists who possess comparative knowledge and assessment skills of two cultures and languages — English and Lithuanian — and are able to independently apply their acquired knowledge in work in academic and cultural institutions, business companies, and various international institutions and projects, especially those institutions and organizations that cooperate with European Union states;
• to educate highly qualified translators who possess knowledge of various principles of English and Lithuanian text production and editing and are able to use modern term-search and automated translation memory systems;
• to train students for doctoral studies by expanding the range of academic and research topics so that these would include comparative linguistics, translation theory and cross-cultural analysis.
The students will be able to:
• apply current concepts from translation theory and practice in analyzing and translating English and Lithuanian texts of different functional styles and genres;
• develop the skills needed to work with specialized texts (business, legal, academic, etc.), to choose appropriate translation strategies for dealing with such texts;
• use automated translation programmes and corpus lexicography;
• apply the current theories related to issues in literary translation;
• use their knowledge and understanding of intercultural research; develop the skills needed to analyze data for intercultural communication, especially as this is relevant in the context of European or transnational projects implemented for a specific company or institution;
• work as partners in common projects with various educational and other institutions, especially those which cooperate with the other European Union states;
• apply their acquired research skills in the spheres of translation, English and Lithuanian philology
and cultural studies.
