Our MA in Professional Translation is designed to turn linguists into skilled translators, with strong international career prospects.
Swansea University has a noted reputation for translation studies, welcoming students from around the world since the early 1990s and becoming one of only five UK-based founding members of the European Master’s in Translation Network (EMT) in 2009, set-up by the Directorate-General for Translation of the European Commission, to raise standards in the training of translators.
Both our 1-year course, and 2 year extended course, have been developed to comply with the Bologna pattern of Higher Education, and can be studied either full-time or part-time, with flexibility to allow you to complete the 2 year course in 15 months.
