It has been a truly invaluable learning experience for me. During the two courses [ReMeTIS 1 and 2], I have learnt so much from all of the trainers鈥� constructive input, kind guidance and prompt feedbacks concerning the research methodologies and practical strategies that will be beneficial to me professionally. I鈥檓 grateful to the dedicated, passionate UNIGE trainers and peers who have formed a fantastic learning community among which I鈥檝e broadened my perspective a great deal in the field of interpreting studies.

If you have a chance to get involved, I鈥檇 say, 鈥淕o for it!鈥�. I鈥檓 glad I did.

When I began this course, I was still at the stage of considering doctoral studies. My motivation to take part was that, despite working as an interpreter trainer at various universities, I hadn鈥檛 really done any academic work ever since my graduation 15 years ago, and didn鈥檛 feel I was quite up to scratch with methodologies and thesis writing any more. The course on "Research Methods in TI Studies" was thus exactly what I needed to refresh my knowledge and help me get started on the exciting but at the same time rather daunting journey that is a PhD dissertation.

The different modules provided an insight into various topics, be it drafting research questions, ethical considerations, methodological approaches or choosing the right听software for听qualitative data analysis. The workload was rather intense, but the deadlines were generous enough to allow for me to fit them around my working schedule. Considering the fairly short duration of the course, I learned an amazing lot, and even though I am still not 100% sure which of the methodologies discussed will听work best for my thesis,听I now have a much clearer understanding of what it is I need to pay attention to and how.

The advice and feedback given by the very dedicated听teachers was extremely useful as it led me to critically re-examine some of my ideas and hone my research questions.听Against this backdrop, I would like to thank all the teachers involved as well as the peers whom I enjoyed working with.

I had a very favorable experience in the 鈥淩esearch Methods in Translation and Interpreting Studies鈥� course. The modules and activities gave me an opportunity to strengthen the methodological basis of my research and the staff was extremely approachable and supportive at all times. Moreover, the course helped me get admitted to pursue my graduate degree in Translation Studies. I cannot recommend this programme highly enough!

I followed the course right at the beginning of my doctoral journey. It allowed me to get familiar with the fundamentals of research methodology and, even more importantly, provided me with a selection of reliable sources. Also, the personal feedback I received from experts throughout every module of the course was incredibly valuable and helped me make considerable progress regarding my own research project.

This course helped me understand how to plan and kick-start a PhD project in translation studies. In particular, I found the module on quantitative data analysis very helpful: an intensive, well-structured 3-weeks programme that gave me the opportunity to discover the most common statistical analyses used in my field. It really helped see my research data in a different light!

En tant qu鈥檃ncienne participante du programme doctoral virtuel de la Facult茅 de traduction et d鈥檌nterpr茅tation de l鈥橴niversit茅 de Gen猫ve, je ne saurai recommander plus vivement ce programme de formation aux futurs doctorants, de m锚me qu鈥櫭� ceux qui sont au d茅but de leur parcours doctoral. Gr芒ce 脿 ce programme, j鈥檃i eu acc猫s 脿 toute une 茅quipe de professeures d茅vou茅es et chevronn茅es qui m鈥檕nt aid茅 脿 cheminer dans ma r茅flexion, mais 茅galement 脿 d鈥檃utres jeunes chercheurs de partout dans le monde qui, comme moi, en 茅taient 脿 leur tout d茅but dans cet univers de la recherche doctorale. Les forums de discussion ont 茅t茅 le lieu d鈥櫭ヽhanges f茅conds qui m鈥檕nt permis de cerner les failles de mon projet, de le bonifier et d鈥檈n red茅finir certains aspects. Sans aucun doute, ce programme m鈥檃ura donn茅 une solide fondation pour entreprendre mon projet de doctorat et le mener 脿 bien.

I began the course on Research Methods in TI Studies because, despite I had been working as an interpreter and interpreter trainer for several years, I had not really done any academic work since my graduation and I felt the need to learn more in the field of academic research. The course was exactly what I needed to learn the basics to start drafting a PhD project proposal.

I attended module I and module II of the course and found both extremely useful. Through the modules and activities proposed and the fruitful guidance and feedback by the trainers I could learn how to draft research questions, received an insight into ethics and methodology and acquired the confidence to start a PhD dissertation.

In spite of the intense workload, the deadlines were flexible enough for me to combine study with my other working activities. The trainers were always very dedicated and helped me critically rethink some of my approaches and hone my research questions. Exchange with my peers and the critical comparison with their work, under the constant supervision of the trainers, were very useful to understand the strengths and weaknesses of my project and gave me the correct foundations for my future doctoral work.

Against this backdrop, the programme is undoubtedly valuable and should be highly recommended.
