Course content
Our MSc Interpreting programme is aimed at those who want to work as professional interpreters.
The programme enables those looking to have a greater focus on developing their interpreting skills to take more dedicated interpreting courses.
Language combinations
In the practical translating and interpreting courses students opt for one of two ‘strands’, corresponding to their chosen languages:
- Strand A: Study of English + one other language from French, German or Spanish. Students work in both directions between the two languages chosen.
- Strand B: Study of English + two foreign languages from French, German, Spanish, Arabic or Chinese. Students on this strand work from the two chosen languages into English.
