Overview

The skills you will develop will make you a bilingual professional equipped with a broad range of employment prospects in national and international settings.

The Master of Commerce and Master of Translation Studies degree from The University of Western Australia is taught by leading practitioners and scholars in business and translation studies and provides a unique opportunity to develop your linguistic abilities and breadth across selected areas including accounting, business information and logistics management, economics, employment relations, finance, human resource management or marketing. It also provides students with specialised and advanced translation training between English and one of eight languages.

Key facts

You will learn to critically assess the latest theories and practices of translation studies and develop a professional understanding of ethics and technology essential to the modern translator, along with the ability to apply these in commercial settings.

The course includes some training in interpreting (spoken translation). You can choose between two pathways within the Master of Translation Studies: coursework only or coursework and dissertation, should you plan to progress to a PhD.

Cognate studies related to business or translation at undergraduate level will allow you to complete this course in two-and-a-half years (if taking the coursework pathway) rather than three years.

With several languages and commerce specialisations to choose from, and a course structure comprising core units and electives, you can tailor your degree according to your own interests and career aspirations.

Career Pathways

UWA’s Master of Commerce and Master of Translation Studies gives you a qualification relevant to professional employment in a range of multilingual contexts, including business, government and non-government organisations in Australia and overseas.
