*New distance-learning route: Applications for /MSc AI for Translation
and Interpreting Studies/ now open (academic year 2025-26 entry)*
The Centre for Translation Studies (CTS) at the University of Surrey is
pleased to announce the launching of /AI in Translation and Interpreting
Studies MSc. /This MSc programme has an in-person route, but most
crucially, */a/* */new distance-learning route/*, for both full-time and
part-time modes of study. Classes are delivered synchronously (for all
routes and modes of study).
This unique and innovative course draws on the research and pedagogy CTS
is well known for, namely the responsible integration of professional
practice with AI tools in multilingual mediation, translation and
interpreting technologies, translation as intercultural mediation,
corpus-based translation, audiovisual translation and automatic
translation. As such, the course is ideally suited for students who wish
to work at the at the interface of (traditional) Languages degrees,
Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Machine Translation.
*This year, we encourage applications from students interested in how
Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models benefit
translators and interpreters.*
The new configuration offers a balance of hands-on training and critical
skills when using language technologies across the academic year. As an
MSc student, you will take three compulsory taught modules in semester 1
and select three optional modules in semester 2 (90 credits). You will
then complete your degree with a long dissertation (90 credits),
allowing you to tackle a project in greater depth. For full programme
details, a *special fee offer for the online/distance-learning route*

dialogue with our students which resulted in a revamp ofour portfolio.
