The MATLM degree is organized around three axes of training: translation, technology, and business management. The translation track will develop students’ translation skills, as well as their language and cultural proficiency, through core courses offered by GSTI, as well as elective courses from the Graduate School of Language and Educational Linguistics (GSLEL) and the Graduate School of International Policy Studies (GSIPS), the other two schools that comprise the graduate school quartet at MIIS.
The technical courses developed at GSTI will cover translation technology, software and web site localization, translation automation, processes standardization, IT/workflow strategies, and project management tools. Tools used in class include Alchemy Catalyst, Passolo, SDLX and TRADOS, Star Transit and Workflow. Finally, the business track will cover key business management areas, such as principles of project management, multilingual marketing, managerial economics, product development, and international business strategy in courses offered by FGSIB.
To complement the coursework, MIIS students will also have the opportunity to work on localization projects through internships and other career events offered through the GSTI Career Management Office. Companies offering internships and participating in training events at MIIS include CISCO, Hewlett-Packard, Lionbridge Technologies, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, and Seagate Technology.
