This course will prepare you for professional work as a conference interpreter. You could go on to work face-to-face or online via remote interpreting in the private market, for commercial organisations or large international institutions such as the European Union or the United Nations. We offer this course in the following languages paired with English: Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. This course offers a distance learning option for full time (one year) and part time (two years) students. Students from both courses are taught in a synchronous hybrid mode as one community of learners. You’ll gain practical experience in our state-of-the-art interpreting suite, which has the same technology as those used by renowned international institutions such as the EU and the UN. Plus you’ll have opportunities to learn outside of the classroom on guided trips around London and possibilities to travel internationally to visit places such as the United Nations in Geneva, the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg, or the European Commission in Brussels. On this Conference Interpreting PG Dip you’ll not only learn how to perform long consecutive interpreting, but also how to embrace the challenges of setting up your own profile as a professional linguist and understand how to develop your visibility on the market.
