Master of Science in Translation Studies
Program Overview
Offering students the opportunity to focus on two languages, in addition to English, the University of Edinburgh is the ideal place to study translation.
Our one-year, full-time taught Masters programme will enhance your practical skills in, and theoretical understanding of, translation as an activity. It can also be completed part-time over two years.
How you will learn
The programme combines core courses with optional courses, research training, practical translation, and a dissertation. It is taught through a combination of seminars, tutorials, student-led presentations and written exercises.
What you will gain
Across all our activities, we encourage critical thinking on language use and translation and an understanding of the factors which impact on the discipline. We will introduce you to major concepts in translation theory and show you how to apply them in translation practice.
This will help you sharpen important professional skills, such as:
- Undertaking research
- Thinking analytically
- Writing commentaries and essays to deadline
- Using a range of resources and presentation techniques
The programme will also broaden your understanding of issues relating to translation, such as gender, power relations, and religion.
