You will be able to work either from two foreign languages into English or between English and a foreign language both ways. The languages on offer are Chinese, French, German and Spanish. Others will be subject to sufficient demand.

The Translation Workshop and the Conference Interpreting Practice modules will be delivered by a mix of specialist (academic and professional) native speakers of English and of the foreign languages. Guided self-study will be provided for the Conference Interpreting modules and group-practice slots will be timetabled. You will keep a reflective learning log on which formative feedback will be provided by the tutors. Additional learning activities will include simulations and guest talks by relevant professionals and potential employers (e.g. agencies, Local Councils), as well as site visits (e.g. to the Scottish Parliament).
