MA
Summary
Today’s multicultural and multilingual world needs clear communication between languages and cultures. In business, education, politics and entertainment, translation allows us to reach – and connect with – a wide range of audiences.
If you’re looking to apply your language skills and prepare for a profession that can take you around the world, this MA is ideal for you.
At Sussex, we have a long tradition of teaching languages. You’ll be taught by experienced, multicultural and multilingual faculty, many of whom are practising translators.
Throughout your studies, you’ll explore the most up-to-date theories and approaches to translation. You’ll also learn to use technology in the field of translation. And so you can get hands-on experience, we’ll assist you in finding work placements or an internship.
We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.

Entry requirements | You should have an upper second-class (2.1) undergraduate honours degree or above. Applicants will be using two languages: English and one from: Arabic, British Sign Language, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese. You must therefore demonstrate high level ability in English and one other language from those listed. If English is your first language, you need degree level studies in your chosen language from the list above (or other evidence of language ability to a similar level). If your first language is one of those listed, your degree can be in any subject, but you will need to demonstrate that you meet our Advanced level English language requirement. If your first language is not listed, you will need degree level studies in your chosen language from those listed, combined with evidence that you meet our Advanced level English language requirement. We can also consider those with professional qualifications or experience of equivalent standing, but you will need to demonstrate that you meet our Advanced level English language requirement and B2-C1 level on the Common European Framework of Reference in your chosen language. |
