Personal Development and Academic Skills (Europäischer Master in Gebärdensprachdolmetschen)

Taking into account the diversity of the student group, this module provides the necessary foundation for students to cope with academic work at post-graduate level and to participate effectively in this international and multicultural programme. By the end of this module, students will have acquired knowledge and skills for coping with academic work at this level, in relation to effective reading, critical analysis and English writing skills in academic contexts. The module also provides information on the organisation and practices of the EUMASLI programme itself and provides introductions to resources and study tools used throughout the programme. The module thereby provides the necessary transferrable skills needed throughout the programme and beyond.

Sessions will focus on topics such as:

• Academic reading and critical engagement with literature
• Academic writing and English in academic contexts
• Referencing conventions
• Study resources available across the three partner universities and beyond
• Introduction to Vision, the Blackboard-based virtual learning platform used throughout the programme
• Data and literature search and using relevant resources available on- and offcampus
• Project and time management

• Europäischer Master in Gebärdendolmetschen
