    About

    The UNSW Graduate Certificate in Translation and Interpreting allows you to build professional translating and interpreting skills and begin to specialise according to your career goals. You'll develop practical techniques with access to current real-world technologies and with translation studies and interpreting coursework led by industry-experienced lecturers.

    This postgraduate program is endorsed by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) and prepares you for their certification exams.
