Course overview

Overview

Find your gateway into the dynamic field of cross-cultural communication with the Professional Certificate in Translation.

As you study, you’ll learn advanced translation skills from leading academics and access the intellectual resources of Australia’s number one university.

You’ll also explore the latest in translation technologies while gaining valuable insights into how language shapes our world through hands-on experience with generative AI and machine translation tools.

You can tailor your studies to match your career goals and language expertise. Choose from advanced undergraduate subjects in Chinese, French or Indonesian, then explore language-neutral graduate subjects in translation technologies, teaching translation, and translation ethics.

These language-neutral subjects extend your study options, giving you unrivalled access to practical experience in translation across a wide range of languages.

Completing this certificate also prepares you for the professional exams conducted by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI).
