The growing complexity of international communication, involving written, spoken and technology-mediated communication, requires professionals with skills in both translation and interpreting. This course is one of the few in the UK to give you the skills needed to perform both tasks professionally.

The course has a strong practical component to suit the needs of the translation and interpreting market today. Surrey supports ‘virtual internships’ which enable you to collaborate with language service providers and build a professional engagement portfolio for future employers. The European Masters of Translation membership gives you priority access to traineeships at the EU Directorate-General for Translation.
