The study programme is constituted in accordance with the Cabinet of Ministers

regulations Nr. 481 of 20th November 2001 – “On the National Standards of the Second Level

Professional Higher Education”.

As IHSPP intends to realize two more new programmes (“Interpreter” of 1-year studies

and “Translator” of 1,5-year studies), it will be possible to immatriculate for the students who

have received the Bachelor degree and who are gaining professional higher education within

the programmes “Interpreter” and “Translator”.

5.3. Structure of the study programme

The study programme is intended for two-year (4 semesters) second-level professional

master degree studies, the scope of the programme is 80 credit points (120 ECTS). Each study

year includes two semesters (each semester consists of 28 study weeks) and two sessions.

(Three weeks)

The programme is assigned:

1. to create theoretical and practical basis for research, that displays creative attitude to the

profession, which is necessary for self-development;

2. To give the students the opportunities for students to get experience in translation.

The priorities of the programme:

- actualizing of linguistical, psychological, pragmatical aspects;

- acquisition of the functional range of translation;

- translation as a method of intercultural communication.

The Master programme includes five systematical blocks (modules), which represent

the conceptional foundation for this Master degree of the translation study.

The first module „Technology of translation” ensures studying of the academic base

of the programme, which is the foundation for all the further phases and sectors of translation.

The aim is to develop the skills and abilities, acquisition of the strategy of translation.

The second module “Translational functional range” includes the study courses

which develop the skills in the use of languages in cultural society. This module includes the

third language which is taught in the functional aspect. The Russian speaking students learn the

Latvian language, but the Latvian speaking students learn the Russian language. This programme

is to be realized within two main modules: “English – Latvian – Russian” and “German –

Latvian – Russian”.

The third module “Intercultural communication” is intended to develop intercultural

competence. It is important to be aware of the context of the cultural society in order to achieve

the high quality of translation and interpretation. This module includes the following disciplines

“Communication”, “Linguistical Culture”, “Methodology of Intercultural Linguistical

Research”, “Semantics and Pragmatics of Advertising: Intercultural Aspect”, “Ethnolingvistical

Aspects of Translation”.

The fourth module “Psychological aspects of translation” contains the study courses

“Psychology of Intercultural Communication”, “Individual Psychological Types of the

Personality of a Translator”, “Psychological Linguistics”, which help to become familiar with

the aspects of the psychology of translation.

The significant part of the programme is students’ research. This module includes the

course on specificity of multilinguistic translation, thus the Master programme includes one

more “new” language. Therefore, students master the technology of three-language translation.

The research effort as a compulsory component of the programme ia carried in the

context of the conceptual foundation of the programme. The special seminar as a basis for the

Master studies research effort has been organized. The significant factor for developing

motivation is to carry out research effort simultaneously with acquiring the experience in the

field of translation. There are some courses which give knowledge on the latest achievements the

theory and practice of translation as well as communication theory. They are “Intercultural

Linguistical Research Methodology”, “Multilinguistical Translation”, “Bases of

Communications”, “Gender Linguistics”, “Linguistical Culture” etc

The programme is concluded by Master paper (20 credit points).

Practice

The translation practice plays a significant role in the Master programme (20 credit

points). The translation practice takes place in the organizations with which have been concluded

contracts as well as in the work places of the students and IHSPP other structures (faculties,

laboratories, library etc) The practice is supervised by a university teacher who explains the

goals and the objectives of the practice, coordinates all organizational work, consults Master

programme students and controls the course of the practice. The analysis of the professional

work of the students concludes the practice; the work of the Master programme students is

evaluated by the employer and the practice supervisor.

The result of the translation practice is preparation, submission and defence of the

Qualification paper. The student’s translation experience is summarized in the qualification

paper. The paper includes the translations done by the students themselves and their scientific

analysis.

7. PROSPECT EVALUATION OF THE STUDY PROGRAMME

ACCORDING TO THE INTERESTS OF THE GOVERNMENT OF LATVIA

7.1. Comparing the study programme and the forms of organization of

International Higher School of Practical Psychology with other higher schools

There are not analogues of the fifth-level professional Master study

programme of International Higher School of Practical Psychology in Latvia. There

are professional translator’s programmes in some higher schools of the Republic of

Latvia (Ventspils Higher School, Riga Technical University, Higher School of

Economics and Culture, Institute of Social Technologies). There are just special

philological courses included in the programme of Faculty of Modern languages in

University of Latvia, e.g. the compulsory study discipline “Introduction into Theory

and Practice of Translation”, the elective discipline “Theory and Practice of

Translation” The only licensed Master programme in Latvia has been specialized in

the field of terminology (Ventspils Higher School).

IHSPP professional Master studies programme was worked out taking into

account the experience of professional Master programme of different European

higher schools. It was valuable to get acquainted with the contents of Master studies

and structure of Centre of Modern Languages and linguistical school in Shefield

University (England). The analogical programmes of Vilnius University (Lithuania),

Translation Institute of University of Louis Pasteur (Strasbourg, France), University

of Joensuu (Finland) have been properly studied.

The programme recommended by IHSPP as well as the Master studies

programme of University of Louis Pasteur and University of Joensuu provides the

high level programme of preparation of the professional translator. The contents of

our programme saves and develops the main priorities, which provides the

programme of the previous level of IHSPP Translator’s department (Bachelor

Degree). On the one hand observance of the general principles allows to organize

gradual studies in the context of the unified concept, but on the other hand it allows

to ensure the contents of the programme with new elements, which draw our

programme together to the above mentioned European higher school programmes.

The common elements are the following:

- Acquisition of necessary practical techniques and methods to provide

efficiency of the translator’s work and technology of translation. The aim

characterizes IHSPP strategy and it coincides with the main directions of

Master programme of Shefield University

- Forming the linguistical basis of the translator, which is connected with the

functional range of translation, and acquisition of the rhetoric bases of

communicative work. The similar focus on the linguistical aspect is done in

the Master studies programme of Vilnius University.

- Parallel developing of professional (practical) and research skills and abilities.

There is a two-year course of the methodology of intercultural linguistical

comparative research in the programme. The level of acquisition of the

programme is evaluated on the basis of scientific works, the preparation and

defence of the qualification paper and the Master paper.

The qualification paper is analogical to the projects included in the Master

programme of Shefield University, University of Louis Pasteur and University of

Joensuu. While students of Shefield University are allowed to choose writing the

dissertation or the project, in IHSPP and all above mentioned higher schools both

papers are compulsory.

The scope of credit points in IHSPP master programme is the same as the

other master studies programme of European universities. Besides, there are elective

many studies disciplines, whicn help to focuse the programme corresponding on the

specific direct professional interests.

The peculiarity of this professional Master studies programme is that

translation is regarded as the tool of intercultural communication - gained in the

sphere of humanitarian relations. It means that the contents of the programme is

focused on cultural and psychological aspects of the society which are topical in the

process of translation. This approach to the professional preparation of translators

reflects the needs of modern communication in the multicultural society.

The specificity of the market of translator’s services of modern Latvia and

Europe defines the necessity in the programme of technologies of multicultural

translation (English – Russian – Latvian and German – Russian - Latvian) into Master

studies programme.

The Latvian and Russian languages are studied by candidates for a Master

degree as new languages. Moreover, it is possible to study other European languages,

e.g. German, French, and Spanish. It is possible in case the students have been

studying these languages previously.

The contents and concept of the Master study programme was discussed and

evaluated during the meeting of Translators’ studies department, IHSPP Senate, as

well as during the meetings with the colleagues from Shefield University - Elki

St.Johnes – the director of Master studies of the centre of Modern Languages and Len

Hamaidiu - the course leader.

7.2. Conformity of the study programme to the standards of profession and

professional higher education

Studying languages gives the opportunity for students to get acquainted with

other national culture, art, ethic standards; it develops their cultural awareness and

personal growth, which is the foundation of any country.

Some changes have to be mode in the regional polices of the EU in order to

meet the new situation caused by the entry of new countries in 2004. At the moment

the following processes as opening the market, mobility of workers and redistribution

of the funding among the regions take place. Latvia is involved in the unified culture,

education and economics.

The new institutions of international importance continue to be formed in the

EU and Latvia. Cooperation contacts have been established in different national

economic branches.

Completely new claims are set up in awareness of international standards and

international statutory acts, as well as in the foreign language awareness with

specialization in the national economical branch. The number of the international

agencies and bureaus is growing in Latvia.

In order to solve some important problems to meet the demands for qualified

specialists including translators, interpreters, the foreign language assistants, workers

of different industries are increasing.

Several hundreds of qualified translators able to translate the statutory acts,

providee simultaneous translations during various forums and conferences will be

required, moreover foreign language assistants will be required in the offices to

provide qualitative work.

The Latvian language has the same status as other EU languages. It will be

used as a communicative means with the help of interpreters and translators. It is

obvious that the specialities of translators and interpreters are necessary in the Latvian

and European markets

The professional higher education studies programme of International Higher

School of Practical Psychology satisfies the profession standard and the professional

higher education standard and is able to provide interpreters and translators of high

quialifications.

7.3. Results of the inquiry of employers

Having analyzed the inquiry of employers (Translation Bureau “Antero”)

about professional competence (organizational skills, communication skills, the

quality of translation). The conclusions made that the employer generally approves

the skills and abilities of candidates for a Master degree. (See Annex 10.1.).

8. EVALUATION OF THE STUDY PROGRAMME

8.1. Aims and objectives, organization, practical realization of the study

programmes

Economical, political and cultural contacts are becoming more and more

intensive in modern Europe. They define the growing demand of translators. Entry of

Latvia the EU has noticeably raised the prestige and demand for the translators.

Varioust EU institutions need highly qualified specialists. However the high claims

for the translator’s work are set up. The level of competence is very high at the

labour-market of translators in modern Europe. The professional standard suggests the

translators, especially young specialists. They should permanently develop and

improve their skills.

This professional Master studies programme is intended to provide the

translators with purposeful professional development. It continues the acquisition of

the translation skills of professional studies programme and academic programme in

philology.

Acquisition of technologies of translation has been realized in the framework of

this programme. It includes:

The main conditions for awareness of technologies of translation:

A good command of the native language,

A good command of the foreign language,

Awareness of native and foreign culture

Knowledge of technologies of translation:

Types of the functional style,

The system of organization of translation,

Knowledge of translational techniques

Knowledge of terminology

Knowledge of bases of editing

The above mentioned model can be displayed in the following table:

Psychological component Individual psychological features of a translator Individual style of translators professional work

This module establishes this Master programme goals and objectives.

The main goal of IHSPP professional Master programme is to provide

translators with good knowledge of modern translation technologies, that translators,

who are ready for self-development and raising the level of translation skills.

In order to achieve the goal the following objectives are to be realized:

- Good orientation abilities in multilinguistical and cultural environment,

- High level of methodology of translation,

- orientation in the latest theories and techniques of translation,

- enrichment of translation functional stylistics,

- acquisition of translation techniques,

- improvement of terminology dictionaries,

- the furthest development of the translator’s individual style.

The goal and objectives of the programme define its main priorities. The

Master programme includes five systematical blocks (modules), which represent the

conceptional foundation for this Master degree of the translation study.

The first module „Technology of translation” ensures learning of the

academic base of the programme which is a foundation for all the further phases and

sectors of translation. The aim is to develop the skills and abilities, acquisition of

strategy and tactics, using modern translation theories and techniques as well as all

high technologies available.

The second module “Translational functional range” includes study

courses which develop skills in the use of languages in the cultural society. This

module includes the third language which is taught in the functional aspect. Russian

speaking students are to learn the Latvian language, but Latvian speaking students are

to learn the Russian language. This programme is realized in two main modules:

“English – Latvian – Russian” and “German – Latvian – Russian”.

The third module “Intercultural communication” is intended to develop

intercultural competence. It is important to feel deeply the national and cultural

specificity of the partners of communication, thus taking this aspect into account

defines comprehension.

The fourth module “Psychological aspects of translation” contains the study

courses, which help to become familiar with the aspects of psychology of translation,

one of the most difficult ways of communication.

The significant module of the programme is “Methodology of practical

work and scientific research”. The course “Intercultural linguistical research

methodology” is a base of the organization of research work. During this course

students become familiar with different methods of international communication and

the research method of a translator. There are considered the methods of work at

Master Paper. In the framework of this module students make individual research,

developing technologies of translation and acquiring translation experience. The

professional qualification of the Students is high enough, as the Master programme

includes one more “new” language, and therefore students master the technology of

three-language translation.

the semesters, in order to make the study plan more logical as well as to conform to

the students’ proposals.

The academical personnel permanently work in research sphere, e.g.

methodical tasks, textbooks are published as well as the teachers improve their skills

in practice of translation.

The students of the programme are involved in the process of development,

research projects, e.g. students participate in the process of preparation of student

conferences as translators.

8.4.4. Principles of selection of the academic personnel, renewal, teaching and

developing.

Employment and replacement of academical staff is based on education

(academical grade) and work experience in the field of teaching and translating. All

lecturers are given a possibility to improve their qualification both within IHSPP

program by taking part in international conferences and outside the Higher School by

attending various qualification improvement programs in Latvia and abroad and

perfecting their professinalism in the field of translation.

8.5. Resources of financing and infrastructure.

The professional study program “Tulks, tulkotājs” is implemented by using

IHSPP material and technical base.

Specifics of professional study program are associated with extensive studies

and integration of research work. This creates a link to the specific requirements for

necessary material and technical provision. Specifics of professional study program

require a modern approach in study and research.

The program’s material and technical provision consists of a building on

Bruņinieku street 65 (2800 m2) and a building on Gogoļa street 12 (450 m2) – these

two buildings and their surrounding ground form the Higher School’s real estate.

Offices in a high-rise building on Akadēmijas laukums 1 (24 m2) are being rented for

management needs.

Apart from study and recreational rooms, the building on Bruņinieku street 65

includes 2 professor flats which allow regular work with foreign guest lecturers.

Health improvement complex includes a training hall (60 m2), a workout room

and a shower room. The building also includes a cafeteria and relaxation complex for

students and a disco-hall.

The Higher School has two Resource centers (one in each building), where all

necessary things for the study process audio and video materials and equipment are

available.

A library complex which includes a library and a reading room (180 m2) is also

being used for the program’s methodical provision. Currently there are 23985 books

in the library stock. There are 2400 books as well as up-to-date foreign periodics in

the Lanġuage Resource Center on Gogoļa street 12. 4 foreign magazines are

subscribed every year. VRC on Gogoļa street contains 140 audiotapes and CDs in

foreign languages as well as 93 videotapes and 13 DVDs. Dynamics of the library

stock usage without the traditional catalogue system is secured by a business-level

computer application which contains two databases: one for books and one for

methodical materials. Students can use the EBSCO electronic library as well as other

Latvian scientific library stocks (for example, LU Scientific library stocks,

Academical library stocks, Misiņa library stocks etc.). Audio-visual and other

technical means are available for the implementation of the program:

4 computer classrooms (127 computers with the Internet access, 2

of them have “Trados” translation software installed): 3 computer

classrooms are located on Bruņinieku street 65 and 1 computer

classroom – on Gogoļa street 12;

Audio and video materials and equipment (20 TV-sets, 20

videotape recorders, 50 dictaphones, 4 projectors for visual

presentation in the large auditorium, 2 overhead-projectors, 16

videocameras un 28 digital cameras);

Equipment for book and brochure binding;

8 copy machines;

12 printers.

The program is financially provided by the study fee – 650, -Ls. from each

student per year. See 2005 review in appendix 10.06.

8.6. Contacts.

8.6.1. Communication with employers and similar study programmes in Latvia

9. STUDY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

With Latvia being included into the pan-European educational space and

labour market, IHSPP Department of Translation program is developed in accordance

with the main development trends in foreign higher schools specialized in translator

training..

The department‘s staff are familiar with French, Finnish, Austrian, German

and Russian study programs. Staff from France, Great Britain and Germany are

involved in study program implementation. The experience of these lecturers is also

used in study program development. Involvement of foreign lecturers and exchange

of students with foreign higher schools will allow the Department of Translation to

solve a very important problem: practice of students and lecturers in foreign

educational institutions and academies. It will allow a faster change from training of

translators or interpreters of local importance to training of capable EU-level

specialists.

Professional higher education master level study program “Technology of

translation” has been prepared by:
