Applicants

The line of purely translation programs includes the program "Translation and Intercultural Communication" in the bachelor's program and two programs "Training of translators in the field of economics, management and law" and "Theory and practice of intercultural communication" in the master's program. Is there a logical connection between these programs?

After studying in the program "Translation and Intercultural Communication", a graduate of our Bachelor's degree will be able to continue his translation training in our Master's program in these two programs.

As part of the program “Training Translators in the Field of Economics, Management and Law”, we will train multidisciplinary specialists, primarily those who are fluent in English, ready to work as lawyers, economists, managers. As in other educational programs of the Odintsovo campus, this program will concentrate the entire potential of MGIMO in training international specialists in the field of jurisprudence, world economics and management. We also expect that many of the graduates of this program, after working for several years in their specialty and gaining practical experience, will want to return to their home university and become highly paid teachers in English-language bachelor's and master's double degree programs.

A very interesting concept. Applicants can get acquainted with the purely formal features of translation programs on the website of the branch, get information from the selection committee. You are a professional translator. Tell us why you chose this particular profession, and what is attractive about it for today's youth.

I began to prepare for the profession of a translator from school - I studied at an "English" school, and the translation seemed to me the solution of a crossword puzzle in real time. English literature and other subjects that we studied at school in English strengthened my decision. Later, at the university practical work and now I find more and more confirmation of the correctness of my choice. An excellent translator must be encyclopedically educated. He must know almost everything in the areas in which he translates or teaches. According to his training, the translator must correspond to the intellectual level of the person to whom he translates. It sounds a little ambitious, but in fact it is. Scientists, ministers, writers come out of translators. For example, Dmitry Vitalievich Trenin, director of the Carnegie Moscow Center, translator by training, has become one of the country's leading political scientists and remains an excellent translator. Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia in 1998–2004 was Igor Sergeevich Ivanov, a translator by education. The eldest of the Strugatsky brothers, Arkady Natanovich, also a professional translator, graduated in 1949 from the Military Institute of Foreign Languages.

In addition to the desire to become a translator in the broadest sense of this profession, an applicant must have certain personal qualities needed to "learn to be an interpreter"?

As a specialist in any creative profession, the requirements for a translator are very high. Translation activity requires a willingness to work hard and learn no less intensively. The translator must have high literacy, knowledge of realities, idioms and phraseological units. He must actively speak his native and foreign languages, have good diction, the ability to concentrate in stressful situations, have physical endurance, reaction, and resistance to any external influences. Successful translators tend to be calm, outgoing individuals with excellent social skills. They are not lost in public and are in good physical shape.

- Tell us more about what the job of an interpreter is.

To put it simply, the work of a translator is a translation from one language into another, in which the translator must be able to accurately convey the essence of the original message, while taking into account the audience for which the message is intended, cultural features and the specifics of its thinking and perception, and correctly use lexical means ( such as biblical, Latin, jargon, etc.) and the forms of their presentation. The translation should render to target audience the same impact as the original message.

- Whom do you see as students of your translation programs?

Students entering our programs must be motivated to acquire competencies that ensure their competitiveness and effective self-realization in the professional field after graduation from MGIMO. A translator needs a professionally organized flexible memory that allows him to absorb a large amount of information and quickly forget unnecessary information. His memory should contain large volumes of vocabulary in an active format, both in his native and in a foreign language. The translator must have the ability to remember briefly and actively use a significant number of language units. The translator's memory will definitely have to be trained. When translating, you need to quickly switch from one language to another. Therefore, many translation teachers put mental stability in first place among the qualities of professional suitability. Forced prolonged speaking, frequent language switching, increased speech speed, the need to focus on other people's thoughts for a whole day, complete submission to the speaker require the translator to have physical and psychological endurance, special strong-willed qualities, and the ability to find a way out of difficult situations. In addition, the translator must be aware that he is an expert not only in the field of a foreign language, but also in the field of culture of two peoples and countries at once. He instantly perceives and processes information, selects the most appropriate translation option. The hardest thing in the work of a translator is to find such an option.

We are talking about the training of translators. But officially translation programs are held under the rubric of training specialists in the field of “intercultural communication”. What is the feature here?

Intercultural communication is communication between speakers of different cultures, when the differences between these cultures lead to any difficulties in communication. These difficulties are primarily related to language barrier, with the difference in expectations and prejudices characteristic of representatives of different cultures.

The concept of intercultural communication comes from the assumption that in the same circumstances people experience the same feelings and sensations, which allows them to understand other points of view, ideas and different cultural phenomena, i.e. imagine yourself in the place of another person, accept his worldview, understand his feelings, desires and actions. The role of the translator in modern conditions has expanded significantly and, in addition to knowing the language, requires him to have “expertise” in the field of intercultural communication.

Admission to bachelor's programs in the direction of "linguistics" in USE results(Russian language, foreign language, history). Documents are accepted until July 26 at the MGIMO Admissions Committee on Vernadsky Avenue, 76 or at MGIMO-Odintsovo (Moscow Region, Odintsovo, Novosportivnaya St., 3).
