Master of Science in Translation Studies

Program Overview

The programme balances Translation Studies theory with practical translation work, meaning you will develop both academic and professional skills, preparing you for the translation profession or PhD research in the field.
You will study leading translation memory software and have the opportunity to become a certified user. You will also have the option to learn how to use subtitling software and will learn how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine translation are affecting translation practice.
We offer translation classes in a wide range of languages including Catalan, Czech, French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
You will have access to our excellent technical resources and to our well-stocked library with over 10,000 items including the latest books, multimedia, audio and video language learning materials, language databases and resources.
Our workshop and seminar series, with masterclasses from multi-award-winning translators, presentations from world-renowned scholars and discussion forums with newly qualified freelancers, provides you with plenty of opportunities to network with experts in the field.
The small classes mean you develop new skills very quickly whilst working closely with Translation Studies and language scholars pursuing cutting-edge research.
Within our strong postgraduate community, you will work in a well-established international research environment, which supports a wide range of activities including a research seminar series on a range of topics relevant to Translation studies, and an annual postgraduate conference.
You are not required to have any advance knowledge of translation studies, as our teaching starts from the basics. You will be introduced to all central concepts and approaches relevant to translation theory and practice during your studies.
