The Master's Degree in Conference Interpreting, the only official Master's Degree in Spain that is a member of the European Masters in Conference Interpreting (EMCI)consortium, offers a solid training through permanent contact with conference interpreting professionals and the use of the latest methodological and technological advances. It follows the recommendations of the International Association of Conference Interpreters AIIC Best Practices and has been re-accredited by ANECA.


Classes have a high practical content based on exercises and simulations where consecutive and simultaneous interpreting are worked on. The Master's Degree in Conference Interpreting focuses on developing the skills of analysis and synthesis of information, and on making students understand that interpreting is not simply translating words literally from one language into another, but rather an exercise in understanding ideas that are then transmitted through a transformation that adapts the substance to the natural form of the target language. As part of the process, special emphasis is placed on the student's self-assessment and knowledge of the metalanguage of the interpreting profession. Our teachers are active interpreting professionals accredited by international organisations, native speakers with recognised qualifications and/or PhDs in Translation and Interpreting or related subjects.


The Directorates-General for Interpreting of the European Commission and the European Parliament collaborate in the training, through their teaching assistance programs, virtual classes and attendance at final exams. In addition, a trip to Brussels is proposed every year, during which students can carry out work experience in a mute booth in both institutions.
