CITS Successfully Held the State Exam in Interpreting

Two intense days of interpretation tests for our students and 16 hours of hard work by teachers and invited experts are over. Four components of tests on consecutive and simultaneous interpreting (and for some students even more – some students tested their second foreign languages!), a well-thought-out technical aspect of online work, invited experts from different organizations and fields of activity – this is our 2020 exam!

This year the expert commission at the CITS’ final exam was represented by Rita Nikolajeva, interpreter of the Latvian booth of the Directorate General for Interpretation of the European Commission,

Nikolai Telnov, interpreter of the Russian booth of the UN Office at Vienna (Austria), as well as by our graduates Viktor Shamov and Ilya Shuminov, representing the regional interpretation market and interpreting for LLC “LUKOIL-Astrakhanenergo” and LLC “LUKOIL-Nizhnevolzhskneft”, Valeria Buriakovskaia, Head of the Department of English Philology of Volgograd State Socio-Pedagogical University, and, of course, by the Head and by teachers of our School, who during two years were leading students to the very serious and responsible stage of their master’s path. This stage has been a success. The thesis defense awaits!
