About the course

This programme aims to address the growing demand for translators with skills in translating technical texts, and will familiarise you with the sociocultural, linguistic and technical dimensions that characterise specialised multilingual material.

During the course you will also address the main theoretical issues shaping translation today and understand how these theories relate to the practice of translation. You will learn how to document your translations efficiently and make appropriate use of research tools in solving technical and scientific translation problems.

Entry Requirements

Students must be able to work into or out of English and another language. Language combinations usually include English with Arabic, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish, although combinations of other languages with English may also be offered.

We welcome enquiries from students with Finnish, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, and Romanian. The decision to run any particular language combination is subject to demand and at the discretion of the Programme Convener in consultation with the Dean of School.
