Course Description
Do you have a passion for translation? Are you looking for a career in translation or interpreting? This course offers you the opportunity to study one or two languages to degree level and gain practical experience in translation and interpreting. Study one language from post-A level and opt to add another either as post-A level or beginner. There is a strong vocational focus to this course and you will receive insights into practical and technical translation and interpreting. We model our translation assignments on real-life situations and you will complete at least one translation project for an external organisation. You will also benefit from being taught by staff who have practical experience of working within the translation industry. The exciting experience of the year abroad develops your communication skills, builds your confidence and helps you stand out to future employers. You can teach English in a school or study at one of our partner universities. However, we encourage you to work for a translation company to further develop your practical translation skills.
