Work / Polish translation Masters in Europe [27]

Hi there,

My girlfriend (who is Polish) and I are both language geeks and we're both at the stage where we are considering where to do our Masters degrees. I want to be an interpreter and would like to study in either Geneva or Brussels; as English is my mother tongue, it's fairly easy for me to find courses.

My girlfriend speaks excellent English and French, but she wants to do a Masters where she can work in her mother tongue. The problem is, not many universities seem to offer translation courses with a Polish option. The only interesting course she's found is in Krakow, but it's quite expensive and she's heard that there's no guarantee the qualification will be recognised by universities and employers outside of Poland.

She's also interested in the idea of Geneva and Brussels (Brussels in particular). Do any of you know of a translation Masters that might be good for her? I find it hard to believe that such international cities like Geneva and Brussels wouldn't offer courses with Polish... but so far, I haven't been able to find one.

Dziękuję!

I didn't think such a simple question would trigger such mean-spirited bickering. Feel free to answer the original question if you still feel like it, but I'm not sure I'm so keen to come back and find out the answers.
