Following the completion of the below academic program at Monash comprising 48 credit points (one year full-time) of study toward the Master of Interpreting and Translation Studies (Translation stream), selected students will travel to France to complete a further 60 ECTS (one year full-time) of study toward the Jean Moulin Lyon III Master of Foreign Languages.

Master of Interpreting and Translation Studies - Monash

The Master of Interpreting and Translation Studies is aimed at students with advanced bilingual proficiency and seeks to develop their skills in translation and interpreting from/to English and another language, and their awareness of practical and theoretical approaches to translation/interpreting practice and studies. This double masters course offers one specialisation, focusing on translation (French).

Students gain a foundation in theories of translation and interpreting and receive training in research in the field. Upon completion of this course, students are able to conceptualise translation/interpreting studies as an academic discipline in its historical, cross-disciplinary and intercultural context.

These course outcomes are aligned with the Australian Qualifications Framework level 9, the Bologna Cycle 2 and Monash Graduate Attributes.

Upon successful completion of this course it is expected that graduates will be able to:

• demonstrate advanced skills in translation and interpreting from/to English and another language, and their awareness of practical and theoretical approaches to translation/interpreting practice suitable for accreditation
• articulate and apply knowledge of global best practice in interpretation and translation in diverse professional contexts
• apply a critical familiarity with many of the key texts and cultural products pertaining to the field of study
• apply advanced reading, analytical and communication skills, both written and verbal
• demonstrate advanced analytical skills
• demonstrate a thorough understanding of research methodology and ethics, and an ability to undertake a small, independent research.

Practicum

During their year at Monash, students of the Double master have to complete 80 hours of practicum in translation. The practicum is aimed at helping students gain real world experiences in the translation. By working with professionals in the industry and/or alongside professionals who frequently use interpreters, students will be able to develop useful skills that will help prepare them for the transition from university to work place. In applying the knowledge acquired in the classroom, students are able to develop a better understanding of way in which theory relates to practice. Employers participating in the practicum may also become a useful recruitment resource for graduates of the program
