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.
