Did you know...

that the MTCI is the first and only master's degree at the University of Vigo that collaborates with the Terminology Coordination Unit, of the Directorate-General for Translation at the European Parliament?

The Master's theses on terminology carried out by our students are within the framework of the  IATE (Interactive Terminology for Europe) university projects, the terminological database for all institutions of the European Union.

In the 2017-18 academic year, a MTCI Thesis on Terminology was initiated at the Terminology Coordination Unit of the Directorate-General for Translation of the European Union, under the IATE Project titled European Arrest Warrant directed by Professor Maribel Del Pozo Triviño.

Análisis de la terminología sobre la Orden de Detención y Entrega (inglés-español) is the title of the MTCI thesis presented in July 2018 by the student Lía García Vila.
