Program Overview

Our trailblazing course stands out as one of the few in the UK that integrate skills in both translation and interpreting with the use of cutting-edge AI and innovative language and communication technologies. You will learn how to navigate the complex linguistic, social and technological dimensions of the language services industry, significantly boosting your employability.

Why choose this course

  • Surrey’s Centre for Translation Studies (CTS) is one of the UK’s top translation and interpreting research centres, with more than four decades of experience in postgraduate education and research training.
  • Our course has a strong practical component and explores exciting and newly developing areas of the discipline, from translation process research and translation as intercultural mediation to audio/video-mediated distance/remote interpreting, hybrid modalities of interpreting, audiovisual translation, and AI.
  • As a UK centre of excellence in translation and interpreting, supported by the Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI, our teaching is guided by our leading research on integrating  tried-and-tested translation and interpreting practices with AI-driven technologies such as neural machine translation, speech technologies and generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT).
  • We support internships and professional development activities, which will enable you to collaborate with language service providers and build a professional engagement portfolio that you can present to future employers.

What you will study
Our internationally recognised MA combines skills training in translation and interpreting with a strong focus on developing innovative technological skills, especially the use of AI in the context of translation and interpreting. This allows you to meet global market demands and prepares you for a future in which AI advances rapidly and where specialised skills, such as leveraging generative AI and using different modes of translation and interpreting, will be essential.

We regularly offer translation and interpreting practice in English paired with other languages. We regularly offer Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), French, German, Greek, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. Many other languages are available upon request, subject to a minimum number of students.

You will develop professional translation skills to produce contextually accurate, culturally appropriate, and stylistically consistent translations. Alongside this, you will gain professional skills in interpreting, including consecutive and dialogue interpreting, and sight translation, and you will practise both on-site interpreting and remote interpreting via audio/video link. You will also learn to understand, discuss and justify translation and interpreting-related decisions.
