Thank you message
The EMTTI Programme has now come to a successful completion. Congratulations to all the students that took part in the Programme, we are immensely proud of all of you. We have seen 55 students graduate over four cohorts which is a clear demonstration of the accomplishment of the Programme.
We would like to thank all the Consortium Partners, the Local Coordinators – Prof. Gloria Corpus at University of Malaga, Prof. Veronique Hoste at Ghent University, Assoc. Prof. Emanuela Tchitchova and Dr. Maria Stambolieva at New Bulgarian University, and former University of Wolverhampton staff Prof. Constantin Orasan and Dr. Sara Moze whose hard work was key in getting the programme up and running. Thanks also to all support staff for their hard work and dedication in creating such an influential and impactful programme, led by Prof. Ruslan Mitkov, we thank him for his inspiration and devotion.
A big thank you to all the Visiting Scholars, Supervisors and Lecturers who have provided hours of teaching, coaching, mentoring and supervision for the students. This has enriched their journey through the Programme and helped deliver incredible outcomes and results.
We would also like to thank the Associated Partners who played a key role, voluntarily providing their time; hosting placements for all of the students; contributing to keeping the curriculum up to date; helping to monitor and evaluate the programme; as well as delivering lectures and seminars. Recognition also goes to the External Examiners and Markers for their time and effort in supporting the successful delivery of the Programme.
In addition to all of this we would like to thank the European Commission for the amazing opportunity to deliver such a cultivating Programme. And a special thank you goes to the Project Officer Dagmar Hopcke. We are grateful for all the support and guidance she has provided over the years.
And we thank all the other individuals that have supported the Programme over the years. Without everyone’s contribution the EMTTI Programme would not have been possible. It has been an incredible 5 years of progression, learning and development. Thank you all.

The amount of text available in electronic format and on the Internet is growing exponentially, and much of this information has to be translated or interpreted. As a result, there is a pressing need for a new generation of translators and interpreters who rely less on traditional methods and instead benefit from a range of time- and labour-efficient technological tools. The European Master’s in Technology for Translation and Interpreting (EM TTI) addresses the need for a new generation of translators and interpreters through a programme of outstanding academic quality, in line with the Erasmus+ ethos of building a stronger workforce with the breadth of skills and perspectives needed to stimulate developments in the field. EM TTI will produce specialists in translation and interpreting who are up-to-date with the latest applications which support their daily work, as well as future developers of such applications.
A strong consortium of the University of Wolverhampton, UK (the Coordinator); University of Malaga, Spain; New Bulgarian University, Bulgaria and Ghent University, Belgium, embodies the aim to deliver a cohesive, integrated European programme which will be the first of its kind worldwide. The synergy between these four Higher Education institutions, who are known for their seminal contributions to the computational aspects of language study, as well as technology of translation and interpreting, will ensure that students have access to leading academics and best practices across the field. The Associate Partners of the programme are leading companies, user organisations, and non-EC universities who further enhance this student-centred and market-orientated programme with a vision of delivering educational quality and vocational skills to maximise the students’ career potential, complementing the quality and integrity of the programme.
