Course Overview

The translation industry is experiencing significant growth, with increasing global demand for well-qualified translators. Our MA in Applied Translation Studies will equip you to break down language barriers and help people, organisations, and countries communicate more effectively.

From the very start of your course, you’ll work with experienced professional translators, developing a strong theoretical understanding of translation, which you’ll apply to practical translation contexts. You’ll train in the use and application of the latest translation technologies and tools. You’ll also develop a portfolio of your own translations in consultation with a professional translator. You’ll gain translation work experience through practical group projects, including working on a real translation brief for a partner organisation.

We cater to students with a wide range of language pairs (one of which is always English) and we welcome students from across the globe. This makes our seminars particularly engaging as you’ll take part in fascinating cross-cultural exchanges with both your peers and our academic staff.

Our language lab provides access to cutting-edge translation and interpreting technologies, including industry-standard computer-assisted translation tools, professional subtitling software, and interpreter training facilities.

The course will enable you to adapt and apply your skills to a broad range of careers in the translation industry. With our strong industry links, you’ll have a wealth of opportunities to expand your practical experience and prepare for a career in translation. You’ll also gain a broad range of skills that are highly valued across a range of other professions.
