Master of Arts - Specialised Translation

The Specialised Translation MA is open to native and non-native speakers of English, who combine English with any of the following languages: Chinese, French, German, Italian or Spanish. At the heart of the Specialised Translation MA lie weekly practical translation classes between English and one of the languages listed above. If students are native speakers of English and would like to study translation with two of the above languages, they can choose to replace the Audiovisual and Computer-Assisted Translation and Quality Assurance and Project Management modules with a further two Specialised Translation modules in a second foreign language. The Specialised Translation MA will prepare students for a career in the translation market. Building on existing language skills, students will learn how to research specialised subjects to produce, with and without the use of translation memory software tools, commercially usable translations of specialised technical and institutional texts, applying insights drawn from linguistics and translation theory as well as from professional practice.
