BA in Applied Language and Translation Studies (ALTS)

Dublin City University

The BA in Applied Languages and Translation Studies develops high levels of fluency in foreign languages and deep intercultural competence alongside technical literacy and digital skills. Applied Languages explores how languages function in real‑world professional contexts - from business communication to intercultural mediation and global content creation. Applied Language and Translation Studies (ALTS) at DCU is a modern, future-focused languages degree. It combines two foreign languages from Chinese, French, German, Japanese and Spanish, with professional skills in translation technology, AI tools, and intercultural communication. Delivered by the School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies (SALIS), you'll study with world-leading researchers at Ireland's top-ranked linguistics programme, and prepare for a global career in international business, localisation, EU institutions, education, media, and more.
