The MA in Professional Translation (MAPT) will develop you from an excellent foreign language speaker into a successful professional linguist.
In 2009 the MAPT became one of only five UK-based founding members of the European Master’s in Translation Network, set up by the Directorate-General for Translation (DGT) of the European Commission to raise standards of translator training. We are very proud that MATI was accepted into the EMT in 2019 and that both of our MA programmes were EMT members until January 2021, when UK programmes were excluded from the Network as a consequence of Brexit.
