Simultaneous translation services
At institutional level Netherlands Business Academy arranges simultaneous translation services. This means that for outbound students who do not speak, nor read, the local language (i.e. in current partnering program with institutions in Russia), two translators will accompany the students to the partner institute.
Two translators
One translator will be responsible for language translations. The second translator will be able to converse with the local staff in the specific language regarding content and provide translations on a content-based level. This should ensure correct dissemination of the necessary knowledge.
Necessary language skills
The necessary language skills and measures taken to ensure correct dissemination of knowledge are always negotiated and discussed with partner institutes before mobility. No mobility can take place without such an agreement, both for incoming as well as outgoing mobility.
Erasmus Charter for Higher Education
