    Graduate Diploma in Translation and Interpreting

    About

    The UNSW Graduate Diploma in Translation and Interpreting is tailored to meet your career goals. Choose electives to specialise in a particular field while you build professional translating and interpreting skills. You'll develop practical techniques with access to current real-world technologies and also with translation studies and interpreting coursework led by industry-experienced lecturers.

    Why study a graduate diploma?
    Open the door to your profession without committing to a full master’s degree. A graduate diploma offers more opportunities to develop your specialisation than the shorter graduate certificate. In comparison, the master’s degree takes two years and offers comprehensive knowledge, professional development, and further accreditation opportunities. The courses in the graduate diploma can also be credited toward the master's degree if you wish to continue your studies.
