Programme specification:

The programme will provide linguists, from the UK and abroad, who meet the entry requirements of the programme, with the opportunity to develop the skills of professional interpreting and translating and consolidate these skills by acquiring familiarity with a wide range of issues in the field of international affairs, politics, international business and science and technology.

Such training will enable graduates to apply the skills gained at the highest level in major international, governmental and non-governmental organisations as well as in commerce and diplomacy.

Intensive 'hands-on' teaching of interpreting is geared to international practice and includes a high level of participation of practising professional conference interpreters.

Interpreting classes take place in state-of-the-art interpreting suites housed within the Language Centre, and simulated conferences in this suite comprise a major part of the training offered to students, enabling them to experience an environment as close as possible to that which they will be working in the future.
