This MA is a distance-learning Masters programme for aspiring or practising translators. It is suitable for Modern Languages graduates offering any one or two of the following languages in addition to English: Czech, French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish. The course is delivered through the Blackboard virtual learning environment. You will study interactively, as part of an online group, led by a tutor. The programme is taught entirely on-line and you are not expected to come to campus at all. We can also communicate directly with you by phone or Skype if you need help.
We are working with the `European Masters in Translation' (EMT) university network, which was set up by the European Commission in response to a growing shortage of properly qualified translators in the job market. You may decide to study for either an MA, or for a Diploma. The University has close links with professional associations and helps students take advantage of internships in the EU and the UK where possible.
