What attracted me most to studying translation at the University of Melbourne is the endorsement from the National Authority for Accreditation for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI). I was also attracted to the practical internship as a core component of the program, which is essential for translators. I learned not just from study, but also from a real work environment to better prepare myself for my career.
