Program details
Overview
The Master in Interpreting Studies is a mainly taught programme that trains you in consecutive and simultaneous interpreting to the standard required by the European institutions. Maltese is taken as the first (A) language, with English or Italian as the second (B) language; alternatively, you can combine Maltese as your A language with two further official EU languages taken passively as C languages.
The degree is studied full-time over 3 semesters and carries 90 ECTS credits at Master's level (MQF Level 7).
Graduates work as interpreters across these different modes of interpreting, and may also continue to doctoral study, in Malta or abroad, for those wishing to pursue an academic career. Training combines classroom practice with supervised interpreting exercises throughout the degree.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: UM applies course-specific entry requirements under its regulations and bye-laws. Local applicants are assessed on qualifications such as the Matriculation Certificate, International Baccalaureate, or European Baccalaureate; international applicants hold overseas qualifications evaluated individually for comparability with UM's standards, with no extra requirements beyond the course's own criteria. MATSEC-qualification applicants must apply as soon as they receive their first result slip after the May/June session; students sitting September resits should apply by the course's first deadline rather than waiting on resit results. After evaluation, the Office of the Registrar issues a decision letter. Admission may also be granted via Recognition and Accreditation of Prior Learning (RPL) for undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses.
