• Students will develop professional translation skills under the coordinated guidance of professional translators and experienced academics. They will simulate real-life translation scenarios and cover a variety of specialisms, as they develop a solid grounding in the linguistic, quality, social, ethical, and technological dimensions of the profession. They will confront a wide range of translation challenges, use cutting-edge software (e.g. computer-assisted translation, machine translation, and corpora), and gain a critical understanding of how technologies impact the profession.
  • Optional modules focusing on the creative, business, technological and research dimensions of translation enable students to customize their learning, according to their own strengths, personal tastes, and career ambitions.
  • Students will gain experience of language services provision through work placements and/or other tasks and collaborations.
