Professional profile
The objective of the course is to train translators who will specialize in
fields pertaining to screen translation: experts in the translation and
localization of audiovisual works especially focusing on dubbing and
subtitling for TV, cinema and in business. The course is aimed at offering
specific training for the development of innovative applications of
audiovisual translation, such as the translation of videogames, applications
in portable technology, and subtitling for the stage. The Masters course will
focus on many forms of audiovisional
translation that are still untapped resources in Italy, such as audiodescription (for the visually impaired)
and respeaking (real time subtitling for the deaf
and hard of hearing). In addition to technical translator
training, the course provides a general overview of the dubbing and
subtitling industry across Europe, the
existing legislation as far as multilingual productions are concerned, as
well as analytical methodological tools for those wishing to enter the field
of research.
