About Conference Interpreting and Translation Studies, MA - at University of Leeds

Develop high-level interpreting and translation skills on this challenging course, where you'll use state-of-the-art technology to gain the knowledge base and practical skills to succeed in the language services industry.

You'll gain essential skills in interpreting, analysis, active listening and note-taking, then build on this foundation by practising specialised consecutive and simultaneous interpreting in our conference interpreting facilities. At the same time, you'll deepen your understanding of translation theory and practice. You can also choose from optional modules informed by the leading research of our staff such as genre analysis, corpus linguistics, computer-assisted translation and machine translation.

As a programme included in the AIIC Interpreting Schools & Programmes Directory, the Leeds interpreting programme follows best practices that are recommended by AIIC (the International Association of Conference Interpreters). The University of Leeds is also a partner university of the Directorate-Generale for Interpretation of both the European Parliament and the European Commission. We enjoy close ties with international organisations including the UN.

Our conference interpreting facilities are equipped with single and double interpreter booths, and a video link to practise remote interpreting. The Martin Thomas Translation Labs will be the centre of your translation work, complete with 59 high-spec PCs and a wide range of specialist software for translation and subtitling.

The Centre for Translation Studies benefits from close links with organisations such as the Institute for Translation and Interpreting as well as the EU and UN (in Geneva and Vienna). This programme is regulated by a Memorandum of Understanding between the University and the Directorate General for Interpretation and Conferences of the European Parliament - a testament to our success in training conference interpreters.

It's a great opportunity to prepare for a career in the language services industry in a city that's full of cultural and linguistic diversity.
