Scholarship Description: he College of Arts and Humanities invites applications for two AHRC Professional Preparation Master's studentships in Translation and Interpreting. This programme, new in 2011, is a variant of the MA Translation with Language Technology in which an emphasis on Public Service Interpreting (with an introduction to Conference Interpreting) replaces that on Language Technology (which, however, remains an option). It is designed to provide students with a qualification that validates a wide range of professional skills and allows them to respond flexibly to the changing challenges of the language services market. Students take practical modules on interpreting in local authority and healthcare settings. These are designed to enable students to pass the examinations of the widely recognised Diploma in Public Service Interpreting, which is offered by the professional body the Chartered Institute of Linguists.
