Most SPEC programs (programmes de spécialisation) include a final project –or mémoire de spécialisation– that requires the student to demonstrate the practical skills that they have acquired and offer an analysis of the process.
From 2021 onwards, in accordance with the law on the protection of personal data, only those who have given their express consent are listed on this page.
SPEC projects in literary translation
Resp. Prof. Martine Hennard Dutheil on behalf of CTL: French-English/English-French translations in collaboration with a professional translator as mentor. The translation project and accompanying literary translation (60-80 pages) are examined by a professional and academic jury and the SPEC defense is similar to the mémoire defense (contact Martine.HennardDutheil@unil.ch for details).
