Thinking of studying translation in the United Kingdom or Ireland?
Looking at potential translation degrees to study abroad in an English-speaking country?
With beautiful campuses, vibrant student life and a reputation for academic excellence, studying your degree in the UK, Northern Ireland, or the Republic of Ireland is always a good choice!
If you are looking to work in the field of translation or interpreting, it is crucial to lay down a solid foundation before trying to find work.
Many universities in the UK and Ireland specialise in language courses, as well as offering translation and interpreting degrees.
There are many options available to you. Some choose to study an undergraduate degree in one or two foreign languages (some universities even allow you to choose three) and then follow up their undergraduate three or four-year Bachelor or four-year MA Hons with a Masters in translation or interpretation.
Some, however, prefer to stick to a specialised undergraduate degree in the field of their choice. The latter may only be possible for those who can prove their language proficiency before embarking on the course.
We have put together a definitive list of the English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, and Northern Irish universities that offer translation degrees and training courses.
Keep in mind that we have only included degrees focusing uniquely on translation – all these institutions and many more also offer BSc or MA Hons language degrees.
Unfortunately, we didn’t find any undergraduate translation degrees in Northern Ireland.
Still determined to study in this beautiful part of the world?
Why not start your academic career with an undergraduate language degree?
Queen’s University Belfast and Ulster University in Coleraine both offer great course programs for prospective language students.
As you can see, there’s no shortage of options for future students looking to further their studies in translation and interpreting.
Languages are becoming an increasingly popular career choice in the UK and Ireland, with students not only going into translation and interpreting but also language teaching, international journalism, media, and academia.
Still not convinced?
Many of our professional translators here at BeTranslated studied at one of these institutions and are now providing quality translation services under our name.

When it comes to translation, if you want a job done properly, there’s only one way to do it: professional human translation.
In our globalised world, investing in high-quality translation is one of the best decisions you can make for your business and its international growth.
Contracting a professional translation service, as opposed to using a translation app to do it yourself, is key to building stronger relationships with current overseas clients and branching out to make new ones. And here’s why…
When your company needs to have business documents translated, is searching for a marketing translator, or requires any other type of translation services performed to a professional standard, a translation app just isn’t going to cut it.
In fact, using a translation app has been known to cause many misunderstandings, even when trying to communicate with friends from overseas, let alone in a work environment.
While translation apps and machine translation tools can offer convenience, they tend to struggle with nuance and taking context into account.
The resulting translations can be too literal and risk leaving clients with a negative impression of your company. Experienced human translators, on the other hand, allow you to connect with international clients.
This makes them an extremely valuable resource.
To illustrate the value of the service provided by professional translation agencies, we will give you an insight into our company, BeTranslated.
BeTranslated is an established translation agency that has managed to maintain many long-term client relationships, whilst steadily gaining new clients.
Our team comprises experienced project managers, themselves qualified translators, and a vast network of experienced translators based around the globe.
The remote nature of our teams allows us to streamline costs and to pass those savings on to our clients.
It also means that if we are working on a large project with a tight deadline, we can use timezones to our advantage and have linguists working around the clock.
Our translators, who are all highly experienced, only translate into their native language.
As well as being experts in certain languages and regional dialects (we have different translators for European and Canadian French, for example) they are also specialised in other fields. Meaning that your IT content will be translated by a linguist specialised in tech.
This system leads to sensitively rendered, accurate translations.
As BeTranslated is lucky enough to work with a substantial network of translation experts, we specialise in a wide range of subject areas.
These areas include but are not limited to the following:
We translate all types of commercial documents and contracts, marketing material, website content, and social media, plus much more.
We provide our clients what translation apps cannot:
Due to the international nature of our agency, we provide translations in most languages, however European and Asian languages are the most common, and we specialise in the following language combinations:
If you are considering working with BeTranslated on a translation project in any language combination, get in touch to see what we can do for you.
We deliver ready-to-use content that has been translated and proofread by a team of professionals.
We always meet deadlines, and you can be sure that there won’t be any app-translated errors such as ‘driving down arteries’ instead of ‘driving along main roads’, or ‘flirtatious farms’ instead of ‘attractive properties’. Your business’s reputation is safe with our professional service. We’ve got you covered.
