There are two different streams of the Master of Translation. The stream you apply for will depend on the depth of your prior academic and/or professional experience, and how closely it relates to translation.

You may be eligible to have your study recognised via Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). If your work experience or prior study is recognised, credit points can be counted towards the degree, and you would then be able to complete the coursework undertaking fewer subjects.

You will need to meet the following admission requirements to be considered for entry into the program:

For the 1.7 year (72 UOC) stream (B)

  • Bachelor degree (or equivalent qualification) in a relevant discipline with a record of academic achievement equivalent to a UNSW credit average of 65% and an advanced level of bilingual proficiency.
For the 1 year (48 UOC) stream (A)

  • Bachelor degree (or equivalent qualification) in a relevant discipline with a record of academic achievement equivalent to a UNSW credit average of 65% plus one year relevant professional experience and an advanced level of bilingual proficiency.
