I got what I bargained for

I spent four years in the Applied Languages Bachelor program. Overall, it met my expectations and the education I got was as promised.

Starting with the pros, most teachers have had practical real-life experience working in the subjects they teach (translators, editors, programmers, etc.) and clearly know the ropes.

The courses have a fair mix of theoretical subjects, such as semantics or linguistics, and more practical courses, like translation or interpretation.

However, due to the great quantity of courses on various topics within the realm of Applied Languages (languages and society, education, technology, business, translation, publishing, etc.), one might feel as if they know a bit of everything but not much of anything when they finish this program.

I would say this bachelor is a good starting point from which to study further in one of the topics introduced during the courses. Maybe pursuing a master’s in linguistic research or studying to become a language teacher could be suitable follow-up paths.
