MA Creative Writing
I studied creative writing both theoretically, and practically. I participated in fiction, poetry and
copywriting workshops and learned both from our professors and from my colleagues. This MA
required a lot of reading of contemporrary books written by British and American authors. Most of
the courses, seminars and workshops were taught in English.
MA Translation-Terminology
This MA provided me with great knowledge in translation/interpreting, from a very practical and
sometimes even pragmatic point of view. We had some translation projects on which we worked
together as a team, from English to Romanian, English to French and viceversa.
