Graduate Certificate in Interpreting and Translation at Western Sydney University

The Intensive Program is designed to set you up for success for when you transition to your dream Macquarie bachelor degree. It's suitable if you've completed Year 12 or equivalent studies and have almost reached university entry requirements but still need to improve your academic literacy and study skills.

In the Direct Entry Program you will build your English language skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking. At the higher levels, you will practise academic skills that will help you succeed in your studies at diploma, bachelor, master or PhD level. In the final 10 weeks, you will attend lectures, participate in class tutorials, and complete essays and a research assignment - to prepare you for your studies at Griffith University. Successfully complete the Direct Entry Program to enter your Griffith program directly without needing to provide a proficiency test result.

You can start at the Griffith English Language Institute with any English proficiency level and study for the period suited to your own purposes. You will be placed in a class between Level 1 and Level 6 based on our placement test taken on arrival, or your proficiency test result if you have one. If you are placed in Level 1, 2, 3 or 4, you will develop language skills for everyday communication: speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary, and pronunciation. At Levels 5 and 6, you will further improve your communication skills and also practise academic skills that will be useful for work or further study.
