This program delivers essential translation principles while enhancing your ability to translate between English and one of ten available languages. You'll gain core understanding of translation theories and practical skills for working with English and your selected language: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, or Spanish.
The qualification serves as an initial pathway to professional accreditation, qualifying you to advance to either the Graduate Diploma in Translation Studies (requiring an additional semester) or the Master of Translation Studies (needing 2-3 more semesters).
Our instructors combine academic expertise with professional translation experience, bringing both theoretical knowledge and real-world insights to their teaching. Classes are kept small to ensure personalized guidance for every student's educational development.
