Course summary

Course overview:

The audiovisual market continues to grow as more platforms introduce streaming services to provide motion pictures and entertainment. Furthermore, videos are consistently supplementing or even replacing text in training, marketing content and websites.

Parallelly, the demand for localisation and accessibility also increases. This means that the audiovisual and localisation industry is in need of professionals capable of providing not just subtitling, dubbing, and voice over services in as many foreign languages as possible; but also subtitles for the deaf and the hard of hearing, audio descriptions for blind and partially-sighted people, and live subtitles for people with difficulties accessing the content of a speech.

Working in audiovisual translation and media localisation is an exciting career that requires excellent knowledge of foreign languages, but also a good understanding of intercultural communication, translation and localisation technology, terminology and project management, as well as an excellent knowledge of the industry.

The MA in Audiovisual Translation and Localisation at Leeds will prepare you in all these areas and in your language combination, increasing your confidence and career prospects.

Career opportunities

A postgraduate qualification in Audiovisual Translation and Localisation will equip you with valuable practical skills, underpinned by a solid theoretical foundation. You’ll also develop advanced skills in IT, research, communication and analysis that are very valuable to employers.

Because the demand for skilled audiovisual translators is increasing, many of our students start working in the field before graduating. They go straight into practice with their project management or translation skills, whether they work in large organisations, small or medium-sized language service providers, or as freelance audiovisual translators. Others pursue related careers in language services in organisations such as the UN and affiliated organisations, the European Parliament and the European Commission, commercial enterprises and NGOs.
