This is a versatile course that combines both practical and academic insights into translation in order to equip you with industry-relevant and more widely transferrable skills. We understand that employability is key, and so the course has been designed to serve as a launchpad for a career in the language industry, for further doctoral study, or for any number of roles in the global workforce where intercultural communication, creativity, problem-solving and critical thinking are valued.
The practice of translation is at the centre of the course; you will be encouraged and supported by our experienced staff to optimize your skill-set across specialised, in-demand domains of translation, including technical translation, medical translation, website localisation, audiovisual translation, and commercial translation. As an RWS Campus partner, we are also able to offer you CAT tool and post-editing training, along with the opportunity to gain Trados certification. In addition, you will have the chance to benefit from an industry placement or make entrepreneurial headway in the freelancing space.
More generally, the course sits within the Department of Humanities; one of our strengths is our interdisciplinary ethos, which means that your learning will be scaffolded by insights from other related areas of enquiry.
