Top Student Awards
Rewarding excellence and dedication
The Trados Top Student Award program was launched in 2016 as a result of an idea given to us by Rudy Loock, lecturer at Lille University, in order to award top-achieving students.
Each academic year RWS Campus universities can pick two top students on a degree or masters localization or language-related course and reward them with a copy of the latest version of ‘Trados Studio Freelance’ free of charge that they can use in their future career.

"During my MA programme Theory and Practice of Translation classes we used Trados and realized what an important tool it is. This instrument helps us create a termbase with all the words we use while giving us a safe and technology-fuelled space to translate in. Once you learn how the platform works, you will constantly use it in your translations. Thank you for this opportunity."

"I had never had the chance to learn to use Trados about despite working as a translator for over 10 years. However, UCL allowed me to learn about Trados Studio, Trados Team, and MultiTerm in depth. I now have a deep appreciation for the power and industry-leading capabilities of this tool. I am truly grateful to UCL for allowing me to learn practically and to my teacher for her thorough teaching of its rich functionality and depth."

"As part of my Master's degree in Specialised Translation, I had the chance to take courses in technical and scientific translation during which my classmates and I were trained to use Trados Studio. This CAT tool quickly proved to be indispensable: it is both ergonomic and complete, and perfectly meets the expectations of the translator, whether novice or experienced. I am honored and delighted to be able to benefit from a license that will allow me to continue the practice of translation on such an effective tool."
