About the course

The growing complexity of international communication requires professionals with skills in both translation and interpreting. This course is one of the few in the UK to give you the expertise needed to perform both tasks professionally.

　　Our programme has a strong practical component to suit the needs of the translation and interpreting market today, enabling you to develop a professional CV as you study. We’re one of the UK’s top translation and interpreting research centres, with more than three decades of experience in postgraduate education and research training.

　　We focus on exciting and newly developing areas of the discipline, such as translation and interpreting technologies, distance/remote interpreting, hybrid modalities of interpreting, machine translation, artificial intelligence (AI) tools, translation process research, translation as intercultural mediation, corpus-based translation, audiovisual translation and multi-modality studies.

　　The Centre for Translation Studies (CTS) has developed an ambitious new research programme on the responsible integration of human and automated approaches to translation and interpreting. This programme informs our teaching and future-proofs your career in this evolving industry. Our internationally-recognised MA combines translation and interpreting studies with a strong focus on technology. This allows graduates to meet the demands of the global market and current challenges for the language industry and work environment. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
