Linguistic Mediators 'Verbum', the only one in Sardinia, has worked since the academic year 1994/95, under the name of High School for Interpreters and Translators (D.M. 31.10.1996). Our goal is to provide the right professionality - either cultural, linguistic, technical or scientific - to all those who want to work as Interpreters or Translators. The function of the interpreter and the translator, as well as the linguistic and cultural mediator, will always be essential, even if it will be adapted to the modern technologies. The High Education Institution for Linguistic Mediators “Verbum” is authorized by the Ministry of University (Decr. Dir. 31.07.2003) to institute and activate three-year degree courses for linguistic mediators. Our Institution is also authorized to issue the related titles, which are totally equivalent to other degrees Enrollment To enter our study course you need to: 1. own a high school diploma or another
