Course Overview

The MA in Translation and Interpreting (MATI) is a uniquely specialized variant of our Professional Translation course, with an emphasis on interpreting skills. It develops you from an excellent foreign language speaker into a successful professional linguist. Your advanced translation studies will focus on general, administrative, and technical text types, interpreting in one or two of local government, health, police, and court, and training in industry-standard computer-assisted translation tools. The first part of the degree includes the chance to specialize in interpreting, audiovisual translation, machine translation and software localization, terminology management, video making, or digital publishing. In the translation work experience module, you simulate translation companies by working with local translation businesses and delivering on real commissions to professional standards.
