Abstract

The Master of Professional Studies in Translation (MPS in Translation) is designed to equip students with the required competencies to compete successfully for work as specialized translators, project managers, or administrators of language services.Example skills include the translation of specialized texts in health, legal and political settings, including the translation of documents and websites for major corporations, international organizations, and government ministries.

The MPS in Translation is a two-year, 41 credit program. In the first year, you begin to develop high-level skills in translation in specific domains (specialized written texts). In the program’s second year, you build on these fundamental skills, specializing in written communication for governmental and international organizations.
