Our internationally recognised BA Modern Languages, Translation and Interpreting with a Year Abroad gives you the opportunity to study two languages including French, German, and Spanish, with a year spent in the countries where your languages are spoken. This four-year course offers intensive language tuition accompanied by specialist translation and interpreting modules taught by research experts. Both French and Spanish can be taken at either advanced or introductory level. Currently, German is only available at introductory level. Students considering this programme must have at least one A-level or equivalent in French or Spanish. You will study concepts of translation and interpreting, translation theory, computer-assisted translation, terminology management, dialogue interpreting and interpreting for business, health or law, opening up exciting career opportunities all over the world. Our graduates have gone onto careers in translation and interpreting for education, business, media and public relations, as well as careers in politics, alongside humanitarian organisations and in public services. During the course of your studies, you will also have lectures from industry professionals covering translation project workflow, organisation, project management software, and job application procedures. Your third year will be spent abroad, studying at universities that offer excellent translation and interpreting programmes to further develop and refine your language and translation techniques and thus enhance your career prospects. You will gain excellent oral and writing skills and learn to present your ideas in a range of formats. You will also develop strong research and analytical skills and the ability to problem solve and make informed decisions. Our programme includes various forms of assessment and we place great value on teamwork through seminars, tutorials, and group presentations, which encourage time-management and interpersonal skills that are highly valued in the employment market.

Some 91% of our Languages, Translation and Interpreting graduates are employed or in further study within six months of graduating (Destination of Leavers from HE survey 2015) and 84% of our students achieved a 1st class or 2.1 honours degree in 2017/18.This programme has a strong Welsh-medium provision and students who wish to pursue their studies in Welsh can apply for a scholarship through Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol.
