Master of Arts - Interpreting

The Interpreting MA prepares students for work mainly as a professional conference interpreter for international organizations and the private market. Languages offered include English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian and Spanish. Students will benefit from work placements, site visits and dummy booth practice at the European Commission, the Court of Justice of the European Union, the International Maritime Organisation and the United Nations (Geneva and Vienna). It’s suitable for translators and linguists new to the field but would also benefit practicing interpreters without formal qualifications.

A key part of the course is a work placement, during which students will perform live interpreting tasks under supervision and shadow professional interpreters at work. The course offers a wide range of language combinations paired with English: German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Japanese. Further language combinations with English may also be available, such as Arabic, subject to demand, staff expertise and availability. In the past, London Met has offered Romanian, Dari and Lithuanian.
