With the expansion of translation opportunities in education, business and employment, there is an onus on professional translators to ensure that their work reaches a very high standard. Achieving a recognised qualification and acquiring sound translation skills is, therefore, more important than ever. People with a recognised qualification in Translation Studies and/or Irish have excellent employment opportunities, bearing in mind the status Irish enjoys as an official language of the European Union and the language requirement placed on the public sector bodies under the Official Languages Act (2003). With this degree, students will have the opportunity to avail of employment opportunities in the translation industry and in organisations that function through Irish or have an Irish language requirement.
