Presentación

The course emphasis is on practical training in translation and interpreting, developing your skills to a high level and learning about the professional environments. Teaching involves both class contact through lectures, workshops, seminars, group and project work, and independent study including research and interpreting assignments. Assessment methods range from interpreting and translation assignments to essays, presentations and projects.

Requisitos

You should have a first degree, although mature linguists without a degree but with sufficient experience in translation and/or interpreting are invited to apply. You will need fluent written and spoken English and an IELTS score of 6.5 overall (with 6.5 in writing and speaking) or equivalent if English is not your first language. All applicants take an entry test consisting of written and oral components.

Objetivos

The course is suitable whether English is your first language or not. It will provide you with professional training aimed at the translation and interpreting markets, and an opportunity to build on your existing language skills to develop a career in those sectors. The courses involves translation between one main language (Chinese, French, Italian, Polish or Spanish) and English, consecutive and public service interpreting, the MA Thesis or MA Translation Project, and a range of option modules.

You will be able to benefit from our wide range of resources, including an extensive collection of volumes and electronic materials in our library, a state-of-the-art language lab and extensive interpreting facilities, and additional resources made available through the University’s Virtual Learning Environment. Our teaching staff includes full- and part-time lecturers, all with expertise in translation and interpreting and in other specialist fields.
