MA in Translation and Interpreting Studies
The MA in Translation and Interpreting Studies (MATIS) is one of the longest-running and most comprehensive postgraduate degrees in translation and interpreting offered by a UK institution. MATIS aims to equip you with the knowledge and skills for a career in translation or other professions which require expertise in cross-cultural communication. Each year students come from all over the world to take the MATIS programme, creating a truly multilingual and multicultural group.
MATIS has been awarded membership of the European Master's in Translation (EMT) Network. Students enrolled in EMT MA programmes acquire competences which allow them to compete successfully for translation jobs in international institutions or in the freelance sector and to work in the rapidly evolving field of multilingual and multimedia communication, including the use of translation technologies.

With its combination of theory and practice, MATIS also provides excellent preparation for further study and research at PhD level.
