About this course

This specialist degree will provide you with excellent language skills as well as theoretical and practical translation and interpreting skills. International students that have already submitted a UCAS application should apply via our Clearing System. The demand for translators and interpreters who know and understand the latest language technologies is growing rapidly.

This is down to a growing number of companies, institutions and people doing business globally, but expecting to use services in their own language, which leads to the latest technological innovations being incorporated into the rapidly evolving language services industry. This specialist degree will provide you with excellent language skills in up to two languages, as well as theoretical, practical, technical and vocational translation and interpreting skills.
