Overview

Entry requirements

Careers opportunities

Very few graduates are employed to translate full time, and the ones who are usually specialise in law, medicine or technology as well. What the market actually buys is a second language attached to another skill, so the strongest destinations pair the language with commerce, policy or teaching.

  • Translator or interpreter
  • Localisation specialist
  • International account or project manager
  • Language teacher
  • Policy or research officer
  • Communications officer

Where they work

  • Translation and localisation agencies
  • International companies and their export teams
  • Government departments and diplomatic services
  • Language schools and universities
  • Publishing and media
After the course

For translators, membership of the Chartered Institute of Linguists or the ITI. For teachers, a recognised teaching qualification on top of the degree.
