Program Description

The Canary Islands is an autonomous region of Spain located in the Atlantic Ocean 100 kilometres (62 miles) off the northwestern coast of the African continent. It is considered a bridge between three continents: Africa, America and Europe. Cosmopolitan, safe and affordable, it has been the set of international movies (Exodus, Star Wars, Fast&Furious, Jason Bourne, Allied...) due to the beauty of its unspoiled nature and picturesque villages (5 World Heritage Sites).

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the university location, is the main city of the archipelago with a population of more than 380,000 inhabitants and a very intense cultural life. The subtropical climate is pleasant and allows for the practice of outdoor sports all year round.

Introduction to Translation

This is a unique opportunity to begin the study of translation in a site-specific course. Students will have the opportunity to learn translation techniques while participating in activities around Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, including visits to museums and cultural sites.
