EUMASLI is an innovative international master study programme that is intended to contribute to the development of the professional field of interpreting between deaf and hearing people in Europe. It aims to prepare participants for research, development, and management functions in their respective countries.
EUMASLI's strength lies in its international outlook and in its collaborative spirit. Organised and delivered by Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences (Germany), Humak University of Applied Sciences (Finland) and Heriot-Watt University (Scotland), the programme brings together teachers and students from around the world in a joint effort to move the field of sign language interpreting forward. It affords scope for individual development and encourages cooperation across geographical, cultural and conceptual borders.
Over the study period of 2.5 years, students travel to participate in block-seminars at all partner universities and engage in online activities and self-study.

Additional fees information
Due to national legislation and university regulations it has not been possible to harmonise the fee situation for students on the EUMASLI programme. The situation regarding tuition fees varies depending on the university with which students enrol.
In addition to the fees, students are expected to finance travel to and accommodation during block-seminars and other events themselves. Please note that we are not able to provide interpreting services into the various sign languages used by Deaf participants.We appreciate that participation in EUMASLI is a considerable financial commitment, and we aim to minimise costs where possible.
