This program is designed to provide a focused qualification in translation with both theoretical and practical components and to develop research/critical skills in the area of translation studies.

Admission to the Master of Translation Studies program is available by two means:

• Applicants for direct entry to the Master of Translation Studies program should have obtained a Bachelor degree from an approved tertiary education institution, with passes at least at credit level in six courses other than first year courses. Students who are native speakers of English should have at least a major in another language, or equivalent. Students who are native speakers of other languages should have either completed their undergraduate study in English or meet the normal English language entry requirements of the ANU; or
• Admission to Part B is available to students who have completed the coursework courses (36 units), or equivalent, for a Graduate Diploma in Translation Studies with an overall average mark of 70%. In the case of students transferring from Graduate Diploma enrolment, the completed Graduate Diploma coursework will count as status for Part A of the Master of Translation Studies program.

In the case of students who enrol initially in the Master of Translation Studies but who fail to achieve the required 70% average mark for coursework, they will have the option of reverting to Graduate Diploma enrolment and having that credential awarded on the basis of the level of coursework completed.
