The growing complexity of international communication, involving written, spoken and technology-mediated communication, increasingly requires professionals with skills in both translation and interpreting. Recognising this need, this course is one of the few in the UK to combine translation and interpreting and give you the skills you need to perform both tasks professionally. Program is a member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, the Institute of Translation and Interpreting, the Translation Automation User Society and the European Language Industry Association, so you’ll benefit from excellent connections with future employers, translators and interpreters, and be taught to industry standards.

If you are a native English speaker, program requires a minimum of a 2:2 UK honours degree in either Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, or Turkish, or a related subject taught in one of these languages. If you are a native speaker of another language, program requires a minimum of a 2:2 UK honours degree taught in arts, humanities or social sciences. Program can also consider relevant work experience if you don’t meet these requirements. For postgraduate taught courses, a Specialist Diploma and Baklavar will all be considered as suitable qualifications for entry depending on grades and subjects studied.
