Modern Languages Translation, Interpreting and Cultural Mediation

Learn two languages, one to mastery and the other to proficiency, while also gaining skills in translation, interpreting, subtitling and cultural mediation. Please be aware that this degree has been suspended for October 2026 entry. We live in an increasingly globalised world, defined by its transnational connections.

More than ever there is a need to communicate effectively and translate and interpret appropriately. Through studying BA Modern Languages Translation, Interpreting and Cultural Mediation, you will become not only a language expert, ambassador and mediator but also a confident translator. You will study two languages throughout your course, choosing between; French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Your major language will be studied to Mastery level, your second language to Proficiency level. If you are a heritage speaker – for example, you were raised in an Italian-speaking household but immersed in an English-speaking community and/or education – this course gives you the chance to nurture your language skills and raise your level of competency in your heritage language. The differentiator for this course opposed to other Modern Language degrees is the emphasis on not only the language and culture of the languages you study, but on the specialised skills in translation and interpreting, subtitling and cultural mediation.
