Student testimonial: Benjamin Steel
"U of l's Translation and Interpreting program afforded me the opportunity to pursue graduate study in my chosen field without having to step away from my full-time job. As a language professional with 16 years of experience doing translation and language teaching, I found U of l's courses both practical and theoretically enriching. I continue to use the skills I've acquired in the program in my daily professional and personal life, to include my work as a language educator and translator for the non-profit sector." - English, Hebrew, German, Urdu, Hindi, Pashto, Panjabi
