This one-semester Certificate will take students from liaison to advanced consecutive interpreting in three professional settings. The qualification reflects the belief that interpreters in medical, legal and business contexts work at a fully professional level. In order to prepare students academically and practically for this profession, students' learning draws upon research from applied linguistics, communication studies and interpreting studies as well as the three professional areas. Applicants must have completed a Bachelors Degree or equivalent combination of at least two years of tertiary studies and professional experience.
Admission depends further on an interpreting aptitude test.
