Taught at UCL, you’ll have access to renowned specialists and benefit from contact with professional translators. The Translation and Technology (with Interpreting) MSc is based in UCL's Centre for Translation Studies (CenTraS), an interdisciplinary research centre that is home to postgraduate degrees in Translation and Technology (MSc) and Translation Studies (MA). Students benefit from an excellent research environment and a broad range of cross-disciplinary expertise offered by UCL’s Centre for Multidisciplinary and Intercultural Inquiry (CMII) within the School of European Languages, Culture and Society (SELCS). On this course, you will take five core modules designed to provide a strong postgraduate-level foundation. These modules will equip you with the essential skills and knowledge needed to conduct research and write your dissertation, while also developing your fundamental interpreting abilities and understanding of translation technologies. You will also choose three optional modules, enabling you to explore interdisciplinary fields within translation.

By focusing on specialised translation, foundational interpreting skills as well as liaison and consecutive interpreting, you will be equipped with the skills needed for professional work in the translation and interpreting industry and for research in translation studies. You will practise translation and interpreting in specific language pairs and will become conversant with translation technology which has been transforming the way in which professional translators and interpreters work. The MSc is suitable for both practitioners and recent graduates looking to specialise in the fields of translation, interpreting and translation technology, as well as for those aiming for a research degree and/or academic career. MSc pathways are only offered in specific language pairs and directions.
