Simultaneous Interpretation

Provision / Courses

In Conjunction with Cymdeithas Cyfieithwyr Cymru (The Translators Society of Wales), The Centre For Welsh Services at the University of Wales Trinity St David offers a unique opportunity to translators and other prospective translators to gain an occupational and practical qualification in simultaneous interpretation.

This Certificate is part of the National Masters scheme, as MA Translation Studies.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and have managed to gain confidence and valuable experience in the field of interpretation, by studying this postgraduate certificate. At the beginning of the course, interpretation was quite a new field for me personally, but the modules provided ongoing opportunity to develop and refine the skill of translation, through a variety of practical situations, and opportunities to shadow experienced interpreters."

This is an opportunity to follow a course where you will:

  • receive professional training in the technique of simultaneous interpretation in small groups at the University.
  • develop a skill that will be useful to you in the workplace and more broadly in community meetings.
  • have the opportunity to gain experience in the workplace under training.

Opportunity...

  • to gain the only Simultaneous Interpretation qualification in Wales recognised by Cymdeithas Cyfieithwyr Cymru.
  • to pursue a course that leads to various employment opportunities - as a freelance translator or as a translator in an organisation.
  • to follow individual modules or all 3 modules in order to gain a Postgraduate Certificate in Simultaneous Interpretation, which is the only one of its kind.
