Graduate
Master of Interpreting and Translation Studies (Double Masters - Kobe City Uni of Foreign Studies) - outgoing students
Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
Monash's Master of Interpreting and Translation Studies, offered here as an outgoing double master's exchange with Kobe City University of Foreign Studies in Japan, is aimed at students with advanced bilingual proficiency who want to develop professional translation and interpreting skills between English and another language. Students choose between a translation-only specialisation or a combined interpreting and translation specialisation, with language options including Chinese, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Spanish depending on enrolment demand in a given year. The course builds theoretical grounding in translation and interpreting studies as an academic discipline alongside practical professional skills, and the Kobe exchange component gives outgoing Monash students a period of study in Japan as part of gaining both institutions' qualifications. It suits advanced bilingual speakers, particularly those with Japanese language interest, who want genuine international exchange experience built into their translation and interpreting qualification rather than studying entirely at one campus.
