About this course

The Graduate Diploma in Arts in Japanese Interpreting and Translation is a one year, full-time program in interpreting and translation offering a solid grounding in translation and consecutive interpreting. Translation is in one direction only, into students' native language, while interpreting is performed in both directions - Japanese to English and English to Japanese.

This program is one of just two in Australia to be listed on the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC) Schools and Programmes Directory, which only features programs that meet its training criteria.

You'll have access to one of the top facilities in Australia, completely refurbished in 2019, featuring the same simultaneous interpreting equipment used in the UN and other major European organisations.

All materials covered in interpreting classes are authentic and cover a range of subjects likely to arise in a real conference interpreting setting.
