New Master's Degree Program: "Interpreting and Intercultural Communication (English and a Second Western European Language)"

Dear Bachelor's Degree Students of Philological Specialties!

The School of Foreign Languages at V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University invites you to enroll in the new second-level higher education master's program “Interpreting and Intercultural Communication (English and a Second Western European Language),” launching in the 2025/2026 academic year.

This educational program offers a well-balanced curriculum that integrates theoretical and practical courses, classroom instruction, internships, and a combination of mandatory and elective components.

We place strong emphasis on allowing students to shape their individual educational paths by choosing elective disciplines that align with their vision of their future professional careers. The two main directions in modern interpreter training — conference interpreting, aimed at working with large audiences, and community interpreting, designed to meet the needs of local communities and businesses — are both covered in our program.

We provide training not only in English but also in a second language — French or German — with equal intensity and according to the same academic plan. This approach significantly enhances your competitiveness both in the domestic and international job markets.

Recognizing that a skilled interpreter is not only a linguistic but also a cultural mediator, we focus on developing both translation and intercultural competencies, enabling our graduates to represent Ukraine and its people with dignity on the global stage.

If you dream of a successful interpreting career and of communicating with fascinating and diverse individuals from around the world, apply to our master’s program “Interpreting and Intercultural Communication (English and a Second Western European Language)”!

Admission Requirements: Unified Entrance Exam (ЄВІ), Unified Professional Entrance Exam in Linguistics (ЄФВВ), and a departmental qualification test.
