Conference Interpreting Suite
We have two purpose-built conference interpreting suites. They are used for training in simultaneous and consecutive interpreting.
These suites incorporate a state-of-the-art digital conference interpreting system for training professional interpreters, including remote interpreting.
Students can record speech materials as well as their own interpreting performance. They can then re-play the recordings for practice or self-evaluation in their own time.
Master's students have access to one of the interpreting suites outside of scheduled classes so they can practise and improve.

The Speech Repository is an e-learning tool. It is used to help improve the quality of conference interpreter training. It was set up at the initiative of DG Interpretation (SCIC), European Commission.
The repository system includes public speeches from national and international institutions and organisations such as:
