Master of Commerce and Master of Translation Studies
This course is taught by leading practitioners and scholars in business and translation studies and provides a unique opportunity to develop your linguistic abilities and breadth across selected areas including accounting, business information and logistics management, economics, employment relations, finance, human resource management or marketing. It also provides students with specialised and advanced translation training between English and one of eight languages. You will learn to critically assess the latest theories and practices of translation studies and develop a professional understanding of ethics and technology essential to the modern translator along with the ability to apply these in commercial settings. You can choose between two pathways within the Master of Translation Studies: coursework only or coursework and dissertation, should you plan to progress to a PhD. Cognate studies related to business or translation at undergraduate level will allow you to complete this course in 2.5 years (if taking the coursework pathway) rather than 3 years. With several languages and commerce specialisations to choose from, and a course structure comprising core units and electives, you can tailor your degree according to your own interests and career aspirations.
