The Bachelor of Languages program aims to equip its students with a diverse set of skills, including advanced language proficiency, critical thinking, effective communication, and cross-cultural awareness. This program, with its characteristic flexibility, acts as a key opening the door to many possibilities across numerous industries.
The Translating and Interpreting major utilises cutting-edge translation and interpreting technologies and tools, including simultaneous interpreting booths and specialised software to help you master the art of translating written and spoken texts from one language into another and interpreting conversations and speeches in real-time.
Your studies will include an overview of popular theory, issues and opportunities in language and related industries, and engagement in real-world projects from industry partners.
A significant advantage of the program is that you can couple your linguistic and cultural competence with a wide range of minors, including Japanese language, Communication, Global Business, Digital Marketing, Tourism and Hospitality or Management and Change. This strong emphasis on cultural competence and intercultural communication will help students break barriers and build bridges between people, communities, and cultures.
On completion of your program, you will be eligible to take an internationally recognised translating and interpreting proficiency test. Studying at RMIT will give you an edge in the job market, as employers seek graduates with cultural understanding in addition to language skills, as well as an international qualification.
