Why don't you start off by creating a list of the things that are important to you?
I'd be starting with campus, facilities, accommodation, ease of transport links, %age of student who are working in their chosen field within 12 months of graduating etc.

Hello!

I am just finishing my MA in Interpreting and Translating at Bath - I know that's not one of the unis you mentioned, but I thought I would suggest what to look for in a good translation MA. I think one of the most important things to look for is how well they train you in professional translation, which can be quite a lot different from the translation you do at undergrad. It's also worth looking at alumni, maybe on Linkedin, and seeing what they're doing now! The departments at the unis might also be able to put you in touch with current or former students of the course.

Hope that helps!
