Quick Facts:

You can study this course in the following languages, all paired with English: Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
If you are solely interested in conference interpreting, our Conference Interpreting PG Dip or Conference Interpreting MA provide a dedicated conference interpreting training for the European Union and United Nations context. Instead, this course offers a public service interpreting (English law) module.
You'll be assessed through a variety of essays, presentations, practical interpreting performances, role-play (PSI), self and peer evaluations, plus reflective portfolios.

Career opportunities:

Conference interpreters are highly sought after around the world, and you could go on to work on the private market for either face to face, hybrid or remote interpreting assignments.
Working as a freelancer is a popular choice for interpreters, but you could also work for an agency, private company, international organisation, governments or an educational institution for either face to face, hybrid or remote interpreting assignments.
You will be able to work for public services. They encourage their graduates to join the National Register of Public Service interpreters in the UK or similar professional associations overseas. You could also advance to our Interpreting MA in order to gain a highly-regarded master’s degree.
