MA Translation and Interpreting Studies / Application and selection

As there is a high demand for our courses, we operate a staged admissions process with selection deadlines throughout the year. Due to the competition for places and high quality of applications that we receive, we give preference to students from high ranking institutions and with grades above our minimum entry requirements.

Please ensure you submit all supporting documentation with your application before the application deadline to avoid a delay in processing.

Applications for 2027 entry:

Stage 1: Application received by6th December 2026; Application update by19th February 2027

Stage 2: Application received by1st March 2027; Application update by2nd May 2027

Stage 3: Application received by4th May 2027; Application update by18th June 2027

Stage 4: Application received by4th July 2027; Application update by30th July 2027

Whilst we aim to give you a decision on your application by the deadline date, in some instances due to the competition for places and the volume of applications received, it may be necessary to roll your application forward to the next deadline date.

Applications received after our final selection deadline will be considered at our discretion if places are still available.

Please note: All places are subject to availability. If you apply during the later stages of the admissions cycle, some courses may already be at capacity or closed to further applications. We strongly recommend applying as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

Applications are mainlyconsidered on the basis of an assessment of past and predicted academic achievements, and any other supplementary evidence that supports the application. We may ask for a course-specific assessment (written, oral or both) that we will request after the application is initially assessed.

Please note that your application is usually received by the School 24 to 48 hours after the time you submit it. Ifyou have not provideddocumentation thatallows the admissions tutorto makea decision, we will contact you.

The University will take into account the academic standing of a candidate's University, as advised by our international office using published world and country rankings.

If you applied in the previous year and your application was not successful you may apply again. Your application will be considered against the standard course entry criteria for that year of entry.  In your new application you should demonstrate how your application has improved.  We may draw upon all information from your previous applications or any previous registrations at the University as a student when assessing your suitability for your chosen course.
