The Association of Programmes in Translation and Interpreting Studies

Founded in 2017, APTIS (Association of Programmes in Translation and Interpreting Studies, UK and Ireland) is a UK Charity that aims to advance T&I education for the public benefit in the British isles. Our ambition is to improve the quality of learning and teaching as well as research on translation and interpreting programmes at Higher Education institutions.

We always welcome new member institutions

If you are a UK or Irish HE institution with a BA and/or MA programme in Translation and Interpreting, then please consider joining APTIS. Becoming part of APTIS means that you are part of a peer-support network. You will receive regular news and updates on our mailing list. 

You will also have the opportunity to shape the future of our Association by attending our AGMs, get your students' work recognised by one of our Prizes and also apply to host our annual conference!

APTIS Awards

Have you worked on a T&I project, or do you know of a T&I project that maximises student learning opportunities and promotes good pedagogical practices in T&I education? Whether big or small, nominate your own project or that of fellow APTIS T&I educators for this award!
