The web based study guides in English - A key to successful internationalisation [articol]

Abstract

The scarce academic offer in English available on many universities’ webpages comes to contradict their internationalisation strategy which views first and foremost the increase in the number of international students (either exchange or full degree). The main goal of this paper is to raise awareness of the direct relation between the two by providing facts and numbers from several European universities. Furthermore, the objective is to bring to light a critical dimension of the translations from Romanian into English of the Translation Studies and American Studies degrees and course descriptions available on the Romanian universities’ webpages. The outputs are meant to highlight the importance of both the Study Guides in English and the specialized translations of these academic texts.
