This course is perfect if you’re already a linguist practitioner and are looking for an industry specific translation course. Our postgraduate diploma can help take your translation career to the next level. We offer this course in the following languages paired with English: Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese and Russian. This course offers a distance learning option for full time (one year) and part time (two years) students. Students from both courses are taught together in a synchronous hybrid mode as one community of learners. On this Translation PG Dip, you’ll explore the translation process alongside theory and learn to reflect on your own practice. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to translate documents of varying levels of specialisation within advertising, business, IT, law, medicine and politics. You’ll learn to translate formal institutional documents from organisations such as the United Nations (UN) and European Union (EU). We'll teach you how to use various translation tools including dedicated localisation and subtitling software. You’ll also have the opportunity to benefit from a career-enhancing work placement module and gain practical work experience within the translation industry.
Youll be required to have: a 2:1 degree (or equivalent) in translation, interpreting, modern languages or related fields, native knowledge of the English language, near native proficiency in your chosen paired language, good command of the second foreign language (if applicable).
