Learning outcomes

Gradert skala A-F

Content

The work on the master's thesis will begin with a seminar late in the spring semester during first year where lecturers affiliated to the programme present their areas of research, and possible topics for master's theses. The next seminar is held just after the academic year starts, and the students will then decide on the thesis topics and discuss who they would like as a supervisor. In addition, three topic-specific lectures dedicated to the thesis will be held where the students present part of the thesis and receive feedback and comments from lecturers and opponents (two in the autumn semester and one in the spring semester). Supervision will be provided throughout the process of completing the master's thesis, and a supervision agreement between student and supervisor will be entered into before the first thesis lecture at the very latest.

An information letter with a detailed overview over the thesis lectures, the date these will take place and the procedure for submitting the thesis, will be handed out at the introductory seminar in the first year.

The master's thesis can be written individually or as a collaboration between several students. In the latter case, each student's area of responsibility must be clearly stated in the introduction.

Teaching and learning methods

Det vert nytta ein intern og ein ekstern sensor til sensurering av oppgåvene. Eit uttrekk på minst 25 prosent av oppgåvene vert sensurert av to sensorar. Karakterane på dei oppgåvene som er vurdert skal danne grunnlag for å fastsetja nivå på resten av oppgåvene.

Course requirements

Undervisningen tar utgangspunkt i praktiske øvelser i tolking, der studentene vil få førstehånds erfaringer med de utfordringer som finnes i profesjonsutøvelsen, og kan diskutere disse i lys av teoretiske perspektiver fra språkvitenskap, kommunikasjon, oversetting og etikk. Emnet vil inneholde mye av det samme faglige stoffet som tolkeemnene i 2. år og vil bygge videre på disse kunnskapene og ferdighetene gjennom en syklisk progresjon. Det er viktig å understreke at det forutsettes omfattende egeninnsats for å oppnå nødvendig studieprogresjon.
