Do you dream of a professional career as a sign language interpreter?
You can become a federally recognized sign language interpreter by successfully completing a Bachelor's degree. This prepares graduates thoroughly for their later extremely demanding work. This profession requires enormous concentration from professionals. Interpreters therefore rarely work for more than two hours at a time. The individual interpreting assignments require the interpreters to be thoroughly prepared for the subject matter. Each assignment is unique and requires a specialist vocabulary that sign language specialists should have a perfect command of.
Sign language interpreters see themselves as a bridge between hearing and deaf or hearing-impaired people. They make a significant contribution to the integration of this cultural community and avoid pre-programmed misunderstandings and communication problems between hearing and deaf or hearing-impaired people. Their field of application ranges from training and further education, medical examinations, court appointments and support in the workplace to parents' evenings, lectures, meetings and cultural events. The sign language interpreters translate from the spoken word into sign language or vice versa. They often also use other communication systems such as spoken sign language, Lormen or the visualization of spoken language.
