Is “Dezernat” translated as “division” or “department”? How do I translate „Zweithörerschaft“, „Berufsfeldpraktikum“ or even „Universität Paderborn“?

You will soon find the answers to these and other questions here. Based on British English, this Glossary will help all members of Paderborn University to write English texts and ensure the standardised use of typical university terms. 

Following its publication, the Glossary will be continuously updated and amended in consultation with the respective organisational units: Would you like a term or phrase to be included in the Glossary? Please e-mail translations@upb.de.
