Summary

Language services represent a rapidly growing and evolving industry which is key in today’s multilingual and interconnected world.

This course combines training in conference interpreting and translation with relevant aspects of computer science and will equip you with the specialist skills you need in order to get a head start in this exciting industry. You'll become a skilled professional linguist who's comfortable working with a range of topics, who understands different workflows and modalities, and who is capable of adapting to remote, hybrid and in-person learning and work environments.
