This website was created to make PAUTRAIN and PAU more visible to African students and the world and provide information about the programmes offered in PAUTRAIN, the courses, admissions requirements and to present research done in PAUTRAIN.

Additionally, as the Translation, Interpreting and Intercultural Communication branch of the Pan African University, this website was created to showcase the bilingual website, translation and intercultural communication and localisation skills.
