Master of Arts - Translation and Interpreting

The Master of Arts in Translation and Interpreting (MATI) is a uniquely specialized variant of Swansea's Professional Translation course, with an emphasis on interpreting skills. It develops students from an excellent foreign language speaker into a successful professional linguist.

The advanced translation studies will focus on general, administrative and technical text types, interpreting and training in industry-standard computer-assisted translation tools.

The first part of the degree includes the chance to specialize in interpreting, audiovisual translation, machine translation and software localization, terminology management, etc.

In the simulated translation bureau module, students simulate translation companies by working with local translation businesses and delivering on real commissions to professional standards.
