Master of Social Science (Translating and Interpreting Studies)

Program Code - Title: MC167 - Master of Social Science (Translating and Interpreting Studies)

CRICOS Code: 061186B

Description

2008 RMIT Open Day, Sunday 10 August, 10am - 4pm

The Master of Social Science (Translating and Interpreting Studies) program provides advanced studies in translating and interpreting theory, professional aspects, project management, language policy and language services, discourse studies, pedagogy, and translation and interpreting practice.

There are two distinct steams offered:

Accrediting stream
This stream is designed to enable students, in languages where there is sufficient demand, to train for a National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) Translator accreditation in either English into a Language Other than English (LOTE) or a LOTE into English.

Students seeking the NAATI Interpreter accreditation should undertake the RMIT NAATI approved Advanced Diploma of Translating and Interpreting.

Non-accrediting stream
This stream has been designed to meet the needs of candidates who wish to engage in advanced professional and theoretical studies and upgrade their qualifications to a higher academic level. Suitably qualified graduates of the current RMIT NAATI approved Advanced Diploma of Translating and Interpreting (NAATI Professional level) or equivalent qualification are encouraged to enrol in this stream and may be eligible for credit for a full semester (Graduate Certificate), reducing the length of the Masters program from three semesters to two.

Why translating and interpreting studies?
Modern means of communication and travel have created a globalised world where there is a growing need for knowledge workers who are capable of facilitating the flow of information both locally and internationally. Translators and interpreters are at the forefront of this revolution as people around the world seek to communicate across language boundaries. Increasingly, governments and businesses are appreciating the need to employ qualified professional translators and interpreters, and policy advisers and administrators in the translating and interpreting field.

Program features
Responsiveness to industry requirements through new courses in translation technology, project management, and language service policy

Strong emphasis on linking translation technology, project management, ethics, professional studies and theoretical and discourse analysis to practical issues in translating and interpreting

Pioneering studies in pedagogical issues relating to translating and interpreting education, for those who are interested in teaching in this discipline area

The new courses will equip students in both streams to work at high levels of productivity as free-lance professional translators.
