The MA in Translation and Interpreting with Professional Experience is a distinctive two-year program that includes an extended work placement to build practical skills. Alongside the standard Translation and Interpreting MA curriculum, you'll undertake identical coursework while also fulfilling a 550-hour minimum professional placement or internship. This program develops bilingual expertise between English and your primary language, teaching specialized research methods for professional translation and interpreting. You'll refine your abilities through intensive practice sessions in dedicated classes and Skills Lab modules. Core coursework is enhanced by elective options, culminating in either a Translation/Interpreting Project or a written dissertation.
