PG Diploma / MA in Translation Studies

Our MA in Translation Studies caters for students with an interest in Translation Studies in all its aspects (translation, interpreting, audiovisual translation, intermodal translation) rather than those with a more targeted professional orientation. The programme provides a focus for research-oriented applicants who either set out with a clear goal of moving from Masters to PhD in Translation Studies or who are attracted by the more reflective perspective of Translation Studies as an academic discipline rather than by translation, subtitling or interpreting practice (hence the degree title of ‘Translation Studies’). The programme is therefore envisaged not only as a stand-alone Masters programme but also as part of package leading to our doctoral programme.
The primary aims of the Masters programme are: (1) to provide an overview of the principal issues in the fast-growing field of Translation Studies with a strong element of problematisation and criticality; (2) to prepare students for independent research.
It is not compulsory on this programme to take language-specific translation, interpreting or subtitling classes, as the focus is not practice-based. However, one practice-based module may be taken as an option if available. The modules on offer will be drawn from: Arabic; Chinese (Mandarin); French; German; Greek; Italian; Norwegian; Portuguese; Russian; Spanish; Swedish; Turkish - all paired with English, subject to demand.
