The MA in Translation for the Creative Industries (MA-TCI) program is designed to prepare students for emerging translation markets. It focuses on innovative, transdisciplinary approaches in high demand in the ever‐growing creative economies. The flourishing field of interdisciplinary translation combines fundamental practical orientations with applied research in various domains.

Taking creative industries as a focus area, the program addresses technical and technological issues in addition to linguistic, cultural, and ideological issues. In the MATCI program, socially oriented scholars will find ample space for applied research with an impact in domains such as television, the arts, and cultural and educational contexts.
