In today's highly globalised world, the translation industry is experiencing an exponential growth. International businesses, organisations and institutions are constantly seeking experts in intercultural communication, localisation and cultural mediation.
Take your language skills to the next level while studying in multicultural Malta.
Welcome to the University of Malta (UM).
Our Department of Translation, Terminology & Interpreting Studies within the Faculty of Arts gladly welcomes new applicants who are interested in world affairs and foreign cultures, reading, writing and travelling, and would like to choose a career path where multilingualism and multiculturalism are key factors.
At postgraduate level, we offer two taught Masters programmes, namely an MA in Translation & Terminology and an MA in Interpreting Studies.
Learn from academic staff who are also industry experts and who bring their experience to the lecture room. As a student, you will become an expert in cross-cultural communication yourself, widening your understanding of a broad range of written and oral communications.
You will have a core study program combined with a specialisation stream, enabling you to develop your solid foundations in translation studies in general, while having the opportunity to focus on one of three possible specialisation fields: audiovisual translation, literary translation and translation for specific purposes.
Upon successfully completing this course, you will be able to:
• Deepen your linguistic awareness and understanding the nature of language
• Further enhance your competence in source language and mother tongue
• Familiarise yourself with the specialised terminology of new subject areas
• Undertake research, revision and editing of translations efficiently
• Undertake studies to a PhD level
Applications for October 2020 are available online.
