FTI’s three- to four-semester MA programme in translation from French and/or Spanish into English puts students in the classroom with renowned academics, seasoned professionals and a small group of highly talented peers.

Classes are often taught as small workshops. Topics range from financial and business translation to literary, legal, and humanitarian texts, as well as terminology, computer-assisted translation techniques, multilingual communications management and even subtitling.

Our core curriculum is resolutely practice-oriented, but a translation-theory specialisation is also available. Students with other languages will find a host of resources available within the larger Faculty, which also offers translation courses in German, Italian, Russian and Arabic.

Compared with similar English translation MAs in Europe and North America, FTI graduates have an unrivalled range of career options. This is due in part to the exceptionally large number of in-house translation teams in Geneva and the Faculty’s long-standing ties to the leaders of those teams, who teach many of our workshops. In a profession that can be difficult to break into, these ties mean that our English graduates have privileged access to the translation market.

Really enjoyed my MA! Small classes meant lots of useful feedback and one-on-one attention. FTI's connections and staff of practitioners jump started my career in the international organizations.
