European Master in Sign Language Interpreting

EUMASLI is an international study programme that is intended to contribute to the development of the professional field of interpreting between deaf and hearing people in Europe.

The master programme is a collaboration between Heriot-Watt University (Scotland), Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences (Germany) and Humak University of Applied Sciences (Finland).

Entry Requirements

• A first academic degree, preferably, but not necessarily in sign language interpreting or related subjects.

While the programme is not specifically designed for deaf interpreters, we welcome applications from deaf and hearing people alike who fulfil the general requirements.
