If you are successful in the entry tests, we will interview you in person or on the telephone to determine if the Translation and Interpreting MA is right for you. The course is open to native speakers of Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
If your first language is not English you should have an IELTS 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each component.
Most successful applicants will have met the IELTS requirement when they submit their application, as excellent English language skills are fundamentally important. It is vital that all applicants who do not have English as their first language provide clear details on their application form of the English language qualifications they have achieved and/or the date when they will be taking their IELTS test.
