MA/PgDip Interpreting and Translating

The School’s Language Resource Centre offers state-of-the-art audiovisual and IT facilities for the teaching and learning of languages. It provides a high-speed network environment giving access to advanced software packages used by language students and staff for a whole range of purposes including computer-assisted language learning, oral summarising, interpreting and computer-assisted translation. We are also currently the only mainland-UK University languages department to hold a licence for Sony Virtuoso (interactive digital language lab software).

The Centre is also home to the Andrew Riddell Conference Interpreting Suite with fifteen positions for conference delegates and several double booths for interpreters. It has been built to the specifications of the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC).
