The Audiovisual Translation, Dubbing, Text Adaptation and Subtitling programme is designed for students who want to develop specialist expertise in the localisation of audiovisual content for cinema, television and digital platforms.
The course combines specialised translation, documentary and terminological research, audiovisual adaptation and intercultural communication. Its purpose is to develop advanced linguistic and cultural mediation skills for professionals working with international audiovisual content.
Study Audiovisual Translation for International Media
Students learn how to work with different audiovisual formats, including films, TV series, documentaries, animation and other multimedia productions.
The programme explores the techniques required to transfer content from one language and culture to another while preserving the original meaning, tone and communicative purpose of the work.
Audiovisual translation requires more than linguistic accuracy. Students learn to analyse content in relation to its cultural context, communication style, medium and intended international audience.
Text Adaptation and Cultural Localisation
Text adaptation is a key part of the localisation process. It helps make dialogues and audiovisual content sound natural, coherent and appropriate for the target audience.
Students develop the ability to interpret audiovisual productions from both linguistic and cultural perspectives. They consider audience expectations, communication habits and the social context of the destination market.
This approach prepares students to work on the localisation of content for different international audiences, using linguistic and cultural mediation as a professional tool within the audiovisual industry.
Dubbing and Subtitling Techniques
The programme also explores key areas of dubbing, dialogue adaptation and subtitling.
Translation skills are combined with an understanding of the spoken, vocal and expressive dimensions of audiovisual communication. Practical activities support the development of skills relevant to different stages of the audiovisual localisation process.
A Master’s Programme Combining Languages and Audiovisual Media
