About Master of Arts (Honours) - Applied Modern Languages and Translating
MA (Hons) Applied Modern Languages and Translating allows students to study two languages to degree level and spend a year abroad on placement with two of Heriot-Watt's partner universities, immersed in their studied languages and cultures. Students can choose two languages from:
- Chinese
- French
- German
- Spanish
This degree focuses on practical language skills, communication studies, cultural studies and linguistics/ translation studies. Students will be introduced to interpreting in state-of-the-art booths which mirror the United Nations and European Parliament and learn translation skills in language labs with professional-standard CAT tools.
Students with only one language at post-Higher/A-Level follow an accelerated intensive language course during Year 1 and join the mainstream language courses from Year 2. In Year 3 students get to study abroad, immersed in their chosen languages and cultures and in Year 4 they are given flexibility to tailor their studies to their personal interest and strengths.
The Department of Languages and Intercultural Studies is a member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI). And, also an official higher education partner of the Chartered Institute of Linguists – a professional body that maintains the highest standards for practising interpreters and translators: Chartered Institute of Linguists.
