Our lecturers have a wealth of professional experience, both in-house and freelance. You’ll learn how theory and practice intersect in interpreting. You will hone the skills you need to excel in your chosen professional domain.

You’ll train at our state-of-art conference interpreting suite. You’ll also benefit from both our industry experience and established connections.

Depending on your interests, you may take further optional modules that cover:
