This programme offers a broad range of practical courses in translation and interpretation, from translation for the media and public services, commercial translation, legal translation to advanced interpretation. Our teaching team is committed to giving to maximum exposure to students the latest development of the art and science of translation. One such example is a new course, Translation in the Digital World, where we give students an overview of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is applied in translation and the principles of computer-aided translation (CAT). Over the years, AATI graduates have been admitted to the degree programmes offered by publicly funded universities with one of the highest articulation rates.
