Translation and Interpreting

Entry requirements

You are expected to have a first degree either in modern languages or other subject. Mature linguists without a degree, but with sufficient working experience in translation and/or interpreting are invited to apply. You will need fluent written and spoken English to study at postgraduate level. If your first language is not English, an attainment of at least IELTS 6.5 or equivalent must be demonstrated. There is no formal entrance exam, but in many cases we will test your language competence by setting you two translations. The test pieces will be emailed to you once we have received your application.
