  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MA 2 years full-time

Course Description

This Double MA in Specialised Translation and Interpreting, offered through a unique partnership between the prestigious Translation schools of Swansea University and Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA), France’s third-largest university, gives you the opportunity to study and train for professional practice in two different academic environments, building your translation networks in both countries.

WHY TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING (EXTENDED WITH UNIVERSITÉ GRENOBLE ALPES) AT SWANSEA?

Only available to applicants with native or near-native competence in both English and French, the Double MA combines key elements of Swansea’s MA in Translation and Interpreting (Year 1) and UGA’s Master LEA parcours Traduction spécialisée (Year 2), both of which are designed to deliver the full range of professional competences set out in the EMT Competence Framework 2017. The Double MA is open to outstanding linguists, whether their qualifications are languages-related or in other subject areas in which they plan to develop a translation specialism. On successful completion, students graduate with the Master’s degrees of both Universities. In addition to English and French, students may also choose to pursue translation with either German or Spanish, in combination with English in Year 1 and French in Year 2.

Places are strictly limited and are allocated on merit by a joint Board of Studies, based on the application form and transcript(s), references, translation tests and interview. Fees are paid at the prevailing rate for UK, European or International students to the institution at which you are studying at the time (i.e. in Year 1 to Swansea, in Year 2 to UGA).

Entry Requirements

A degree, normally in Translation, a Language or a related subject, normally a 2:2 or above (or equivalent). As an alternative, we can accept a minimum of two years of relevant professional experience.
