Translation: a Second Career that Opens Doors to Opportunity!

Are you thinking about making a career change? Are you interested in a second career that will put your first degree to good use?

The knowledge you gained in your first area of study and your experience in a previous field (for instance, as a lab technician, dentist, doctor, journalist, teacher, etc.) will be valuable assets for your work as a translator. Put your experience to good use in New Brunswick!

French-English and English-French translation is a profession ready to welcome you. New Brunswick's doors are wide open to translators, and lead to great opportunities for people looking for a second career.

In New Brunswick, all official documents must be available in both English and French. Legal, medical and scientific documents, and written material for business or pleasure, need to be available in English and French or in a bilingual format.

Work in a profession that contributes to New Brunswick's growth by becoming a specialized translator, translating texts in your area of expertise.

Add a bachelor's degree with honours in translation to the education you already have.

The Université de Moncton offers a two-year accelerated program in translation.

This program is designed for those who already have a degree in another discipline.
