Interpreting

Sign language interpreters act as language mediators between hearing and deaf people. They translate spoken language and German Sign Language (DGS) bidirectionally in all areas of life, e.g., in education and training, in court and at the police station, in healthcare, at conferences, and in other areas of public life, thus enabling barrier-free communication. Barrier-free communication gives deaf people whose primary language is DGS equal opportunities to participate in society.
 
The course therefore includes practical exercises designed to prepare students for their future professional activities (interpreting between German and German Sign Language).
