Application and Guidelines 2011

The one-year postgraduate diploma:

The one-year course comprises five modules taught over 8 weekends.

2.       English as a Source and Target Language

3.       From Translation Theory to Simultaneous Interpreting

4.       Interpreting as a Profession

Assessment:

Assessment for the postgraduate diploma is based on a mix of traditional university assignments (written essays) and a portfolio of evidence of competence in the workplace.

 As applicants will have already achieved the NVQ BSL Level 6 or equivalent, it is safe to assume that the majority will be working either in the community or in educational establishments.  Consequently, students should have ample opportunity for evidence collection.
