翻译与口译专业解析
口译也叫做同声传译，世界上学习并完全掌握该专业的人才十分稀缺，据不完全统计，全球同声传译人才不超过3000人，在中国大陆更是凤毛麟角，经过AIIC（国际会议口译员协会）认证的会员仅30人。而专业口译人员的工作价值回报之大是人尽皆知的，通常一天的工资就可以达到一个普通工作者一个月的薪水，而且工作相对灵活自由。所谓“重赏之下必有勇夫”，虽然口译较难学习和培养，但也每年吸引着不少学生求学，国内中国大学目前开设口译专业的学校比较少，为了增强自身的竞争优势，语言环境和教育质量都很好的英国高校就成为学生们的首选。
1、巴斯大学（University of Bath）
　　巴斯大学为国际大学翻译学院联合会(CIUTI) 的四个会员大学之一，翻译与口译专业为欧洲议会特别拨款给巴斯大学所设立，志为联合国和欧洲议会输送优秀翻译人员。是欧洲最早提供翻译课程（非纯口译）的学校之一。多年来已造就无数翻译专家，在翻译领域中居翘楚之地位，提供英-法、英-德、英-西、英-俄等欧洲语，以及英-中、英-日等亚洲语言的双向口译笔译课程。课程以实用的课程为主，并非纯学术理论导向，学生有机会至联合国在欧洲举行之会议进行观摩，故任何学术背景领域者皆可申请。
巴斯大学口译与翻译硕士课程已有超过40年历史，毕业校友在各国从事与语言相关的工作。第一学期，所有学生依照核心课程学习专业翻译、同步口译、连续口译，在第二学期学生可以有更多不同的课程选择，进一步提升专业能力。在学习期间，学生有机会到各大公共机构和私人公司实习，实地应用所学知识和技能，并获得口译和翻译工作的亲身经验。

4、威斯敏斯特大学（University of Westminster）

Translation and Interpreting MA

Course content

The course emphasis is on practical training in translation and interpreting, developing your skills to a high level and learning about the professional environments. If you are a native speaker of English, your translation modules will involve both institutional and technical translation from French, Italian, Polish or Spanish into English. If you are native speaker of Chinese, French, Italian, Polish or Spanish, your translation modules will cover institutional translation from and into your native language (commonly referred to as your 'first' or 'main' language). You will also study conference and public service interpreting, and learn new relevant skills through the option modules. You will also complete a research-based MA Thesis or an MA Translation or Interpreting Project. Your studies are further supported by regular student-led interpreting practice sessions and mock conferences, blended learning provision on developing your professionalism, weekly lectures on the theoretical concepts and principles of translation and interpreting, introductory workshops to a range of translation memory tools, and guest lectures and workshops delivered by external speakers from industry and international institutions.

Core modules

Conference Interpreting

This module introduces you to interpreting in formal conference scenarios in consecutive and simultaneous mode. After an introduction to advanced skills in concentration, memory, message analysis and split attention, you will learn note-taking techniques in consecutive interpreting, and you will practise sight translation as well as simultaneous interpreting in the booth.

Public Service Interpreting

This module introduces you to public service interpreting in the fields of health and law. Following targeted introductions to the subject areas and topics covered, you will practise public service interpreting in simulated situations.

Main Language Institutional Translation (into your first language)

You will be introduced to specialist texts of the kind you will be expected to handle in a professional context. These will cover international and government institutions, as well as the fields of economics, finance, business, politics and law.

Main Language Technical Translation (Native speakers of English only)

You will be introduced to a wide range of specialist texts relating to technology and science of the kind you will be expected to handle in a professional context.

Second Language Institutional Translation (Native speakers of Chinese, French, Italian, Polish or Spanish only)

This module differs from the main language module only in that you will be translating into English as a second language for information purposes.

MA Interpreting Project or MA Translation Project OR MA Thesis

The MA Interpreting Project is an extended piece of work of 12,000 - 15,000 words, which aims to help you reflect on and apply theoretical models to your practice as a trainee interpreter. The project is divided into three parts: a reflective report logging your learning process during the MA, an error analysis of a portfolio of three speeches you have interpreted throughout the year, and a rhetorical analysis of one of these speeches. Preparation for the project will be provided in a series of workshops throughout the year. Alternatively, you can do an MA Translation Project, a 6,000 - 8,000-word extended translation on a subject of your choice, accompanied by a preface and a set of annotations on the translation challenges involved. Preparation for writing the preface and annotations will be provided by a series of lectures throughout the course. you can also choose to do an MA Thesis. This is a piece of scholarly research, 12,000 - 15,000 words long, on a translation- or interpreting-related topic. In preparation for writing your Thesis, you will attend regular research methodology and work-in-progress sessions. Regardless of your choice of Project or Thesis, you will also receive individual supervision.

Option modules

Advanced English Language skills for interpreters (native speakers of Chinese, French, Italian, Polish or Spanish only)

This module will help you develop and perfect your oral English language skills through activities that address specific interpreting issues and through speech writing and delivery. The module will also cover rhetorical analysis of a variety of speeches to determine their characteristic features.

Computer-assisted Translation (CAT)

The CAT module will introduce you to the basic features of computer-assisted translation (translation memory and machine translation), and provide practical experience of some common tools currently available.

Editing: Principles and Practice

This module will introduce you to the skills of translation criticism and quality reporting, translation editing and revision, post-editing and proof reading.

Intercultural Communication

You will be introduced to the different theories of the nature of cross-cultural interaction and of intercultural competence. The module also looks closely at the application of these theories to specific issues in professional contexts, such as translation, cross-cultural skills and knowledge transfer, and the cross-cultural implications of globalisation.

Introduction to Audiovisual Translation

The module will introduce you to the subject of audiovisual translation and includes hands-on translation experience and training in how to use subtitling software.

Main Language Technical Translation (native speakers of French, Italian, Polish or Spanish only)

You will be introduced to a wide range of specialist texts relating to technology and science of the kind you will be expected to handle in a professional context.

Second Language Technical Translation (native speakers of French, Italian, Polish or Spanish only)

You will be introduced to a wide range of specialist texts relating to technology and science, translating into English as a second language for information purposes.

Sociolinguistics

This module will cover concepts and issues in sociolinguistics, such as class, gender, ethnicity, multilingual communities, language variation, choice, planning, change, decline and death, and language in face-to-face interaction.

Subsidiary Language (languages subject to annual confirmation)

Over the year, you will be introduced gradually to a language that is cognate with your main language. You will gain an overview of the language based on grammar and syntax, and source language texts. As the year progresses, you will learn to translate graded technical and non-technical texts.

Translating Cultures

This module opens up the understanding of 'translation' to include the transmission and interpretation of values, beliefs, histories and narratives not only across linguistic, cultural or geographical boundaries, but also, for example, from one medium or time period to another. By reading the works of key theorists from around the world in the intersecting fields of translation and cultural studies, the module aims to enhance students' understanding of how historical and contemporary cultural interactions can be examined through a translational paradigm.

United Nations and European Union for Linguists

This module will equip you with a detailed knowledge and understanding of the structures and functioning of the UN and EU. In particular, it aims to explain the role of the main institutions of the UN and EU and their interaction with national governments, and the role of professional linguists in these processes.

Analysing Spoken and Written Discourse 

This module will introduce you to the theories of genre and discourse analysis; audience design, purpose and style; rhetoric and persuasion; text-types, text structures, and grammatical and lexical features. Texts are selected from a wide range of sources, typifying different styles, levels of formality, registers, audiences, purposes and specialisations.
You should have a good first degree, preferably in modern languages, but we also consider applicants with degrees in other disciplines, provided you possess the necessary linguistic skills. Mature linguists without a degree but with sufficient experience in translation and/or interpreting are invited to apply. You will need fluent written and spoken English and an IELTS score of 6.5 overall (with 6.5 in writing and 7.0 in speaking) or equivalent if English is not your first language. All applicants take an entry test consisting of written and oral components.

The  MA in Conference Interpreting  (MACINT) aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills for a career in conference interpreting.
Students will offer one of two profiles, reflecting the two distinct profiles of practising conference interpreters.
Profile 1: Designed for students who have English as their native language (A language) and two passive foreign languages (C languages). These students will be trained in both types of interpreting out of both C languages into their A language.
Profile 2:Designed for students with Arabic, Chinese, French, German and Spanish as their native language (A language) and English as an active foreign language (B language), or English as their native language (A language) and Arabic, Chinese, French, German or Spanish as an active foreign language (B language). These students will be trained in both types of interpreting in both directions (i.e. B-A and A-B).
The taught component of the MA combines 75 credits of conference interpreting courses (consecutive and simultaneous interpreting) with 45 credits of research-oriented courses. The dissertation (60 remaining credits) is written on a research project or a specific interpreting assignment (interpreting plus critical analysis). The programme prepares students for a professional career as a conference interpreter, developing the range of linguistic, specialist and technological skills required in the work place.

10、密德萨斯大学(Middlesex University)
　　密德萨斯大学位于伦敦北部，系英国政府正式批准的现代化综合性国立大学。目前该校已成为一所声誉卓著的现代化大学，拥有一流的教学设备、一流的师资和教授学者。学校现有五大学院,200多个学士学位专业、近百个硕士学位和博士学位学科点，在商科、经济、管理科学、计算机、多媒体和设计等领域具有突出的整体优势。该校翻译专业“旨在把学生培养成为一名符合英国外交部职业水准的高级口译人员或会议同声传译员”，是专业性很强的学校。需要注意的是，密德萨斯大学专门为中国学生定制开设了口译课程，根据中国学生的语言特点教学，但该课程与英国机构没有任何联系，也缺少国际化氛围，学生需要考虑毕业后的就业去向，具体情况学生可以咨询该校教授。
