This course is for non-native speakers of English whose mother tongue is Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish.
The aim of the course is to train professional translators who can produce accurate and commercially acceptable translations from English into their mother tongue and, for information purposes, from their mother tongue into English, applying insights drawn from the study of linguistics and translation theory.
You will also be able to research complex technical and specialised topics for the purposes of translation in a professional context.
The course is a professional qualification that is recognised by translation companies throughout the world.
Graduates find employment as in-house translators within industry, commerce, international organisations and translation companies, as freelance translators, translation project managers, or editors, revisers and subtitlers.
