Program overview
A master degree in interpreting, covering consecutive and simultaneous technique, note taking, public service and business interpreting contexts, and professional practice.
At GBP 18,700 this matches the conference interpreting masters, and the difference lies in whether you specialise in conference settings.
Master of Arts - Interpreting is taught at the University of London Met, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the interpreting masters is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the interpreting masters, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the interpreting masters plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the interpreting masters does not support a family move.
The academic bar for Master of Arts - Interpreting is a completed bachelor degree or equivalent with 60 percent. The English requirement is IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the interpreting masters is recorded at GBP 18,700. London Met charges no application fee, and London Met charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the interpreting masters . The interpreting masters lists four entry windows across September and January, which is genuinely flexible. Apply Study Visa manages your the interpreting masters application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A completed bachelor degree or equivalent, at the percentage stated.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 72 with reading 22, writing 21, speaking 23 and listening 21; PTE Academic 70. The Duolingo English Test is NOT accepted on this course.
- Application and deposit: London Met charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: London Met applies an India Bright Futures Scholarship worth GBP 5,000 to eligible Indian students automatically, with no separate application form. You apply for the course as normal and the award appears on your offer if you qualify. Confirm the figure on that offer rather than assuming it, and check the eligibility conditions for your intake before budgeting around it.
- Additional requirement: Admission normally requires demonstrated competence in a specific language pair, often by aptitude test. Confirm your combination is offered. London living costs and the UKVI maintenance requirement are both higher than for study elsewhere in Britain. Budget for the London figure rather than the national one.
- Work rights: the interpreting masters is a degree, so it supports a UK Graduate Route application giving two years of unsponsored work after you finish. No dependant may accompany you on a taught course.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.
