Applied Translation MSc

This course - a partnership with the Middle East University in Amman, Jordan – allows students with existing Arabic-English language skills to further their understanding of how to translate to a professional level.<br/><br/>The nature of the course means that youll take part in simulated real-world translation tasks across different specialised domains e.g. business, tourism, science and journalism. In so doing, youll build a toolkit of best practices and strategies for translation, while also developing a range of intercultural communication skills valued in the working world more broadly.<br/><br/>The course includes hands-on training in Trados, industry-leading computer-assisted translation software, through the RWS Campus scheme. Practical components are also complemented by applied translation theories, which in turn can serve as a basis for further doctoral study.<br/><br/>Designed with graduate employability at its centre, the course will prepare you for a career in and beyond the language service provider industry.
