Centre for Translation Studies
We offer a range of vocationally-oriented MAs and Postgraduate Diplomas in translation, interpreting, and audiovisual translation and localisation in a variety of European and non-European language combinations.
The vocational emphasis of our taught courses allows you to work in realistic team scenarios which reflect industry practices, while also providing a solid basis for a research degree.
Our excellent facilities, skilled academic staff, and regular input from experienced professionals will ensure you gain the expertise needed for a successful career in translation and interpreting.
In view of recent development in remote working in the market, we are using Interactio, Kudo, and Zoom as our partners for training in remote simultaneous interpreting, and Zoo Digital as our partner for training in remote subtitling and dubbing.
