There are a limited number of bursaries Jun 27, 2007

http://scic.cec.eu.int/europa/display.jsp?id=c_6344
but only for languages of the E.U.
As far I know Arabic is not an official language of the E.U.
Note : London is a £15.000 winner-takes-it-all. If you pass, you can start winning back your investment. If you don't pas, bye £15.000

Westminster's policy has now changed. If you fail the December exam, you don't have to pay for the second term so you only pay half of the total fees, which amount to 9,350 pounds for the whole year for an overseas student.

Besides, if you study in London, it might help you improve your English so you would be able to use it as an active B language, instead of just a C as Williamson said.

Williamson and Aymeric were not talking about Westminster School, but the University of Westminster.

Westminster School doesn't have interpreting courses.

My two pences Aug 3, 2007

I think one cannot forget to mention ESIT.

Here's the website www.univ-paris3.fr/esit/

Now, it's the best for several reasons. One, it's the school that started it all, and the one that has the best teachers and most advanced techniques.

Two, it's got the best equipment. It's not the most modern equipment, but it's got real interpreting equipment.

Two, it's got the best equipment. It's not the most modern equipment, but it's got real interpreting equipment.

Three, they provide with the best education. No other school is as prestigious, or prepares you so thoroughly. In ESIT you end up with the same level as any professional interpreter who is already working, and not just the level of a "beginner interpreter".

On the downside, they are very, very tough. It's not just the entrance exam that is tough, after that there is a lot of work, and, at the end of the first year, they kick out a lot of students.

One more thing for arabophones: they require you to interpret into Classical Arabic.

oh, I forgot to say... Aug 4, 2007

... that, since it is French public university, the master there costas just above 500 euros.

Seriously!
