Translation and Interpreting

The MA trains you in translation and interpreting between one main language and English. You'll learn how to research specialised subjects for professional translation and interpreting purposes and hone your skills through extensive practice in your translation and interpreting classes and the Skills Lab modules. The skills and knowledge acquired in your core modules will be complemented by your choice of option module. At the end of the course, you'll submit either a Translation or Interpreting Project, or a dissertation.

Your core Specialised Translation module will involve both direct and inverse translation training between English and your chosen language. You'll also study conference (consecutive and simultaneous) and public service interpreting, into and out of English, in your core Interpreting module.
