Communication –
Explore the potential of communication to shape our world.
Study Communication at Victoria University of Wellington and prepare for your career as a communications professional. Explore scientific, literary, political or intercultural communication, or media studies.
In our globalised world, effective intercultural communication can help to break down linguistic and cultural barriers.
Study the theory and practice of translation and interpretation, and build skills in the creative production and critical evaluation of various types of translation.
Find out how culture is expressed in different linguistic and cultural contexts. You'll learn about the challenges of intercultural communication in the workplace through an employer placement, and develop your own abilities through an applied translation project.
You'll also gain experience in computer-assisted translation environments such as translation memory and captioning software, and learn how to add value and subtlety to these new technologies.
If you want to further develop your bilingual or multilingual skills, or are interested in a career in the language services industry, Intercultural Communication and Applied Translation is right for you.
Intercultural Communication and Applied Translation is only available at postgraduate level.
