Our MA Translation and Professional Language Skills course prepares you to work as a professional linguist at a high level.
Throughout the course, you’ll develop the skills required in a number of roles within international organisations and language service providers. You'll mostly work with the written word to provide translations and specialised language services, such as:
- editing
- proofreading
- précis-writing (a type of summary writing used by the United Nations). This is only available on course pathways that include French, Spanish or Russian
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.
