Specialty curriculum

During university studies our students master three foreign languages: English  as their first foreign language (Russian being the first foreign language for foreign students) and  German / French / Spanish / Portuguese / Chinese / Turkish /Persian  as their second or third foreign language. Foreign students can study the Belarusian language as their third foreign language. Moreover, the curriculum suggests studying the basics of the theory of translation as well as developing skills in translation and interpreting; studying economic theory and world economy, international business management, the theory of intercultural communication, psychology of business communication, business culture in international business, the strategies of communicative behaviour. A number of special disciplines ("Country Studies", "Communicative Behaviors Interpretation", "Strategies for Communicative Behaviors in Business", etc.) are also taught in foreign languages for еру 2nd - 5th  year students.

Teaching foreign languages is based on common European standards of foreign language proficiency. "Common European Framework of Reference: Learning, Teaching, Assessment" has been widely used. A cooperation agreement with Cambridge English Assessment at the University of Cambridge was signed.

Such types of the students' practical training at the enterprises involved in foreign economic activities as introductory, translation, pre-graduation and research are provided.
To help  the students to develop and improve their translation skills a translation agency operates.

New information technologies are used widely. There are special classrooms with multimedia teaching tools, language labs, classrooms for studying English, German, French, and Spanish. They are equipped with modern technologies, audio and video. Students can use more than thirty computer labs where they have access to the Internet for self work.
