This MSc is designed to provide first-class training in specialised translation with interpreting. The programme offers you the opportunity to develop your translation, interpreting and language skills, to deepen your understanding of the workings of language as an essential tool of communication and to gain vital experience in the rapidly developing area of translation technology. By focusing on specialised translation and liaison, public service and consecutive interpreting, you'll be equipped with the skills needed for professional work in the translation and interpreting industry and for research in translation studies. You'll practise translation in specific language pairs and will become conversant with computer-based translation technology which has been transforming the way in which professional translators and interpreters work. Most students find challenging and rewarding work within the translation and interpreting industry on completion of the degree. Some are working as in-house and freelance translators and interpreters, while others are active as project managers and translation tools experts in organisations such as Xerox, Amazon, SDL International, Expedia, Hogarth, SDI-Media, ITR, TransPerfect and Deluxe to name but a few. In addition, the MSc is designed to serve as a basis for a Translation Studies PhD.
