Sign language interpreting - a degree course for everyone with a heart for deaf and hearing-impaired people

Do you love languages of different origins and do you enjoy finding precise and accurate formulations? Do you enjoy communicating and are you passionate about the cultural community of deaf and hearing-impaired people? Do you already have some previous knowledge of Swiss German Sign Language (DSGS) and would you like to refine and deepen it?

Then the Bachelor's degree course in sign language interpreting is certainly a very interesting option! During your studies, you will focus specifically on Swiss German Sign Language - DSGS for short - and learn how to interpret professionally between hearing and deaf or hearing-impaired people. You will learn how to apply the international code of conduct for interpreters in your work and will be aware of the linguistic and cognitive processes involved in interpreting.

Interpreting services are sought and needed wherever deaf and hearing people meet. After successfully completing your Bachelor's degree, you will interpret from sign language into Swiss German or High German or vice versa.
