MA Translation and Interpreting

at University of Westminster

Our Translation and Interpreting MA is open to native and non-native speakers of English, who also speak any of the following languages: Chinese, French, German, Italian, or Spanish. The course provides you with extensive professional training aimed at the translation and interpreting markets, building on your existing language skills to develop a career in those sectors.
 

The MA involves translation as well as conference and public service interpreting between one main language (Chinese, French, German, Italian, or Spanish) and English. You'll learn how to research specialised subjects for professional translation and interpreting purposes and hone your translation and interpreting skills by extensive practice, applying insights drawn from linguistics and translation and interpreting theory as well as from professional practice. You'll also engage with a comprehensive programme of professional development activities and will further complement the knowledge and skills acquired on the core modules by choosing either Translation as Cultural Practice or International Liaison as an option module. At the end of the course, you'll submit an MA Interpreting Project, an MA Translation Project, or an MA Dissertation.

Our teaching staff includes full and part-time lecturers, all with expertise in translation and interpreting and other specialist fields.
