Facilities

In addition to three labs featuring the latest computers and translation software, students also have access to a state of the art conference interpreting suite. 

Equipped with two booths, this is a specialized facility that provides a controlled environment for interpreters to practice and train, with the booths fully soundproofed to ensure that the interpreter's voice is not heard by the audience or vice versa. This is essential for accurate interpretation, as it prevents the interpreter from being influenced by the audience's reaction or the speaker's tone of voice. 

The booths also provide privacy for the interpreter, which allows them to focus on the task at hand without distractions, and can be configured to accommodate different types of interpreting, such as consecutive, simultaneous, and whispered. This makes them versatile and adaptable to a variety of training and teaching needs.

 Overall, an interpreting suite with booths is a valuable resource for interpreting training and teaching. It provides a safe, comfortable, and flexible environment where interpreters can develop their skills and knowledge.
