Our MA Translation and Professional Language Skills course prepares you to work as a professional linguist at a high level.
During the course, you'll develop the skills required for a range of roles in international organisations and language service providers. You'll mostly work with the written word to develop proficiency in specialised language services, such as:
Through your core units, you’ll advance your editing, revision, and proofreading abilities. You can then complement these fundamental skills with optional units in specialisms like liaison interpreting, public speaking, the use of translation technology, and even how to set up and run your own language services company.
Bath has longstanding links with international organisations like the United Nations and European Union. We make use of these links to keep our programmes up to date with the professional world and to set up external training opportunities where possible. We also use our extensive network of contacts to organise external training opportunities. These are often with the language services of international organisations (such as the United Nations or European Union), government departments or translation companies.
