With English and Chinese as working languages, our Translation and Interpreting MA will allow you to hone the skills you need to excel in your chosen professional domain.
Our lecturers have a wealth of professional experience, both in-house and freelance. They have worked in the fields of translation, localisation, and conference interpreting.
You will gain an understanding of how theory and practice intersect in translation and interpreting. You’ll have access to our state-of-art conference interpreting suite. You’ll also benefit from both our industry experience and established connections.
The Translation and Interpreting Master's has two stages. Each stage lasts one year.
You can study for two years. In your first year, you’ll join the Translation and Interpreting MA. Then in your second year, you’ll continue on the Translation and Interpreting pathway or choose to study:
- Conference Interpreting MA
- Translation and Localisation MA
- Translation Studies MA
You can also study for one year. You'll join the Translation and Interpreting MA directly at Stage 2. This option will depend on your previous qualifications and experience.
