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.
