MODERN LANGUAGES, TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING SINGLETON PARK CAMPUS
TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING MA (MATI) FT PT This programme builds on the Professional Translation MA with an additional emphasis on Public Service Interpreting and Conference Interpreting. Like its sister programme, it is available in both Standard (180 credit, 90 ECTS) and Extended (240 credits, 120 ECTS) versions – see above. It is designed to provide students with a qualification which validates a wide range of professional skills, and allows them to respond flexibly to the changing challenges of the language services market. In the first two semesters, students take one or more practical modules on interpreting in Health Care, or Police and Court settings (not all options are available every year). Also available are modules on Consecutive Conference Interpreting and Simultaneous Conference Interpreting (not available in every language combination every year). All these modules are taught by a dedicated team including practitioners and academics. Part 2 of the Standard degree and the second half of the Extended programme are identical to those in the MA in Professional Translation (see above). TRANSLATION TECHNOLOGY PGCERT FT This programme, which is particularly attractive to working translators wanting to enhance their qualifications and technical expertise, consists of three modules drawn from the MA programmes opposite: Translation Tools and Translation Technologies (both in Semester 1) are compulsory and the final module is an optional choice.
The other compulsory modules include Advanced Translation and Translation Tools. The latter includes a multilingual translation project using SDL Trados Studio, Memsource, and other software, and offers the opportunity to take Trados certification tests at all levels without charge. A range of other taught options are available, including the Translation Work Experience module, where students set up and run their own (simulated) translation agency. Part 2 of the Standard programme may consist of either a Dissertation, or two Extended Translations, or a 12-week Internship, in the UK or abroad which we will help you to organise with our extensive range of industry contacts (tests and interviews apply). The second half of the Extended programmes can be built flexibly from a combination of additional taught modules (at Swansea or abroad), and/or one or two of the Part 2 options from the Standard programmes. The 4-semester version offers a unique opportunity to study for one semester each at two partner institutions abroad belonging to the prestigious METS Consortium, leading to the award of a METS Certificate in addition to the MA from Swansea University: isit-paris.fr Alternatively, Extended MA students with the necessary language skills can study their 3rd or 4th semester on an exchange with our strategic partner, Université de Grenoble Alpes in France.
