Translation and Interpreting with Modern Languages (Hons) University of East Anglia

Overview

On this Translation and Interpreting with Modern Languages (Hons) programme offered by the University of East Anglia you’ll devote between half and two thirds of your time to your language studies, aiming at equal competence in both. You’ll also be introduced to a range of specialist translation skills, as well as public service and conference interpreting. You’ll study compulsory language modules in your chosen languages, including topics in French, Spanish and Japanese culture and society. 

You’ll learn about translation issues across the media, and subtitling and dubbing, to help you understand how translation is practised in a range of contexts. You’ll benefit from practical experience in interpreting in both public service and conference modes, which will give you more insights into the professional world. You’ll also have the opportunity to study a range of subjects in language, culture, communication and translation. In all of these activities, you’ll use contemporary rather than literary or historical materials. 

You’ll also have the opportunity to take a third language as part of your degree or as a non-credit module with certification at no extra cost. You can choose from Arabic, British Sign Language, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Advanced English.
