This master’s will provide you with hands-on skills in practical translation and interpreting, covering different modes (written translation, sight translation, simultaneous, consecutive and public service interpreting, and subtitling) and a range of specialist areas. You will explore major theoretical approaches and core methodologies in translation as well as acquire useful transferrable skills (e.g. public speaking, intercultural communication, academic writing, active listening, critical thinking and analytical skills) for a successful career in translation or interpreting and beyond. You will be able to draw on the interdisciplinary expertise of staff members from the Department of Languages, Cultures and Film (LCF) and LCF’s strong links with different cultural institutions in Liverpool. All of our Translation specialism options combine with English.
