Course overview

Are you highly proficient and able to fluently converse in one or several languages in addition to English? Do you have a deep knowledge of one or several cultures and have an interest in international affairs? Are you committed to helping others communicate? Are you calm, tactful, quick thinking and able to multitask? Would you like a career that can take you around the globe? If so, a career in conference interpreting may be for you. The Master of Conference Interpreting – the only standalone qualification in the field in Australia – will equip you with the specialised cognitive and practical skills required of this dynamic profession. You’ll have the choice of studying Chinese (Mandarin), French, Japanese, Korean or Spanish paired with English, supported by experienced practitioners. You’ll then hone your craft in state-of-the-art interpreting labs – Australia’s largest – via mock conferences under the guidance of world-class experts, including members of the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI) and the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC).
