About this Unit
This core unit in the postgraduate Interpreting and Translation programs is divided into two main sections: interpreting techniques and translation techniques, including information technology. This unit deals with high-level specialised technical skills necessary for the different types of interpreting: dialogue, consecutive, simultaneous and sight translation. It also deals with various aspects of translation and information technology relevant to translation (i.e., computer-assisted translation technologies and the use of the Internet). The unit is run in English for students of all languages.
