The MA/Diploma in Interpreting and Translating is a one-year, full-time programme which aims to prepare linguists for careers as interpreters and/or translators. It is open to graduates, and students expecting to graduate during the current academic year, who show that they have the required linguistic aptitude.
Course Content
All students take the following core units:
Professional translation
Liaison interpreting
Consecutive interpreting
Simultaneous interpreting
(In Semester 2, students may replace this with additional translation units)
From December, a series of mini-conferences are organised to create realistic conditions for students to practise their interpreting skills.
In addition, a number of elective units are offered, designed to provide students with background knowledge that will underpin their interpreting and translation work. These include:
International economics
Elements of law
The institutions of the European Union
Introduction to EU and international law
Translating international legal documents
Intercultural communication
Information technology for linguists
Approaches to professional work
The regular classes set out above are supplemented by visits from professional translators and interpreters.
Students who wish to proceed to the MA must submit a 15,000 word dissertation after successful completion of the taught section of the programme.
Not all language combinations will necessarily be available every year, according to demand.
