Course Overview

The course is designed to provide an online post-registration qualification for British Sign Language (BSL)/ English interpreters in the UK. You will be able to achieve a recognised qualification in your current specialist areas of interpreting or in the areas you wish to develop your practice (for example, healthcare, mental healthcare, legal settings, arts, and culture or education). Interpreters will be able to use study on this course to fulfill the CPD requirements of their professional registration body, either by undertaking the full programme or by taking single modules as an associate student.

You will complete a range of modules. Two core modules in the Theory and Practice of Interpreting will enable you to gain a grounding in current translation and interpreting concepts and practice. Elective modules will allow you to tailor your study to the areas of professional practice in which you are currently engaged, or areas in which you would like your work to develop.

Entry Requirement 

Up-to-date registration as a BSL/ English interpreter in the UK. 

A minimum of three years of experience post-registration. As applicants are likely to come from a wide variety of backgrounds in relation to previous academic qualifications, each application will be considered individually. 

International: This course is designed for BSL/English interpreters. Sign language interpreters from other countries who work with English should contact the Programme Team for further advice.

Interview: Interviews with applicants may be arranged, but this does not need to be on a face-to-face basis. Applications are welcome throughout the year, but the main entry point for new students is in September each year and applications from these students need to be received by the end of June. Places will be offered on a first come first served basis, and applicants are advised to apply as early as possible.
