Master of Interpreting and Translation Studies (Double Masters with Jean Moulin Lyon III)
Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
Monash's Master of Interpreting and Translation Studies, offered here as a double master's with Jean Moulin Lyon III University in France, 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. The course builds theoretical grounding in translation and interpreting as an academic discipline alongside practical professional skills, and the Lyon III partnership gives students the opportunity to gain qualifications recognised by both a French and an Australian institution. It suits advanced bilingual speakers, particularly those with French language interest, who want genuine international study experience built into their translation and interpreting qualification rather than completing the degree entirely in Australia.
