About the Course

Learn how to bridge cultures through translation. The Master of Translation is a program offered for bilinguals in either Mandarin Chinese - English or Spanish - English. It prepares you a professional translator career. Graduates work in fields such as government, commerce, law, or international relations, where they mediate Australia's international relations. To enrich your studies in translation, you may undertake elective subjects in the broad fields of culture and communication, and languages and linguistics. You can develop your professional skills translating specialised topics, managing terminology, using translation technologies and negotiating the cultural and intellectual boundaries of Chinese and Spanish speaking worlds. An internship is a core component of the program, giving you a real-world industry experience. Or, if you're interested in research or further study, there's a Master of Translation (Enhanced) option, with a minor thesis component, available.
