Master of Arts in Translation and Interpreting

About

Qualify as a professional Chinese-English or Japanese-English translator and interpreter with the Master of Arts in Translation and Interpreting.

This 2-year program offers industry-focused training in community translation and interpreting as well as advanced training for in-demand translation and interpreting specialisations in health and legal.

You'll acquire essential applied skills in computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools, post-editing for machine translation, digital terminology management, and bidule and relay interpreting. You'll also be prepared for advanced simultaneous interpreting for international business and conference settings.

Emphasis will be placed on the harnessing of digital technological trends in both translation and interpreting, thereby equipping graduates with the skills to work in an increasingly globalised and digitalised translation and interpreting market.

The program is endorsed by National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI).
