A postgraduate qualification in Applied Translation Studies will equip you with valuable practical skills, underpinned by a solid theoretical foundation. You’ll also develop advanced skills in IT, research, communication and analysis that are very valuable to future employers.
Because of the rapid growth of the language services industry (estimated at $64.7 billion in 2022 and forecast to grow to $90.8 billion by 2027), many of our students find work in the industry even before graduating. Many go straight into practice as project managers and in-house translators and revisers across a range of small to large language service providers, and others pursue a freelance translation career path. Some students have also secured careers in the language service departments of institutions such as the UN, WHO, WIPO, European Parliament, European Commission, and NGOs.
