Course summary
The translation services market is seeing a period of large growth, driven by a high demand for screen translation and accessibility services. Through our relationships with key industry players we understand the skills currently in demand by translation employers and have designed this masters degree to equip you with those specific skills. The expertise we’ll help you develop go beyond an understanding of languages and translation, to encompass an understanding of workflow, professional standards and experience in using state-of-the-art translation software. You’ll be taught using the software programmes used by Sky, Zoo (who supply services to clients such as HBO, Disney and Paramount) and RWS, which is why many of our students go to on to work for these companies.
