Overview

Master of Translation and Interpreting Studies (Advanced)

Translation and interpreting are just as much an art as a skill. 

Professionals are proficient bilinguals who love languages and cultures, possess excellent writing and public speaking skills, and are meticulous down to the tiniest details. 

They are talented at transforming expressions, colloquialisms and other culturally specific references into statements their audience will understand.

Macquarie's Master of Translation and Interpreting Studies (Advanced) allows you to achieve greater depth in either translation or interpreting – or in both disciplines – than the Master of Translation and Interpreting Studies. 

You’ll have the opportunity to take electives in specialised translation and interpreting in medical, legal and business settings. 

This degree allows you to study in the following languages paired with English: Chinese (Mandarin), French, Japanese, Korean and Spanish.

Key features

  • Blend classroom learning and practical work to be career-ready
  • Study this degree in one of several languages paired with English
  • Enhance your learning with industry-standard technology
  • Sit relevant NAATI interpreting certification tests
