Master of Arts in English/Arabic/English Translation and Interpreting (MATI)

Mission Statement: Goals and Objectives
Translation and interpreting services are in demand now more than ever as the world market expands and the trend toward globalization gathers momentum. The vital role that English continues to play in international communication and the growing impact of the Arab region on world affairs combine to create a demand for highly trained and reflective English/Arabic translators and interpreters. The Master of Arts in English/Arabic/English Translation and Interpreting program at AUS is designed to respond to these demands.

The MATI program aims to equip graduates from a variety of disciplines with highly specialized translation and interpreting skills in English and Arabic. The program also addresses the need for upgrading the skills of professionals already working as translators and interpreters. The courses are intended to produce graduates conversant with the various forms of translation and interpreting required in the complex web of communication. This diverse range of skills is placed within a general theoretical framework that provides the student with the conceptual tools to identify, analyze and resolve problems and develop a reflective approach to translation.
