The University of Ottawa, in the heart of the National Capital Region, was the first Canadian institution to offer professional translation courses at the university level―in 1936. This training was formalized in 1971 when the School of Translation and Interpretation was founded.
The School now offers many different programs to help our students make the most of the many opportunities that exist in the workplace: two BA programs in French and English, as well as a tri-lingual option including Spanish; three different MA programs: in legal translation for francophones, in conference interpreting, and in Translation Studies; and a PhD in Translation Studies.
These varied programs as well as the many foreign exchanges the School promotes attract both Canadian and foreign students to the School, which makes for a very interesting and diverse student body.
