Program Overview

 The Integrated Bachelor's–Master's Program (MCIL) in Translation – Arabic, French, and English – is a comprehensive 10-semester journey totaling 300 credits, designed exclusively for students specializing in translation.

The program begins with three years of a shared core curriculum (six semesters), then moves into two specialized tracks during the final two years (four semesters):

  1. Institutional Translation
  2. Scientific and Technical Translation

During the Bachelor's phase, students follow a structured path over six semesters, each worth 30 credits. Courses are organized into different teaching units, offering a balanced mix of:

  • Core subjects, which focus on translating between Arabic, French, and English, as well as improving fluency in all three languages.
  • Methodological courses, which help students master research techniques, academic writing, translation methods, and explore areas like terminology and translatology.
  • Exploratory courses, offering an introduction to fields such as political science, economics, law, and linguistics – all of which enrich the translator’s cultural and contextual understanding.
  • Cross-disciplinary units, where students gain hands-on experience with digital tools, translation software, computer-assisted translation, and even explore entrepreneurship and start-up development.

Each unit comes with a specific number of credits and a weight (coefficient). Once completed, credits can be carried forward and transferred throughout the program.

Learning isn’t limited to the classroom – students take part in lectures, workshops, personal projects, internships, and capstone experiences like academic theses, start-up projects, or even developing a patent.

The entire program is grounded in a strong trilingual foundation, helping students become confident and capable communicators in Arabic, French, and English.
