One of the most flexible translation studies programmes in the UK, our degree brings together the expertise of research-active staff from the various language units within the School of Literatures, Languages & Cultures.

You will join what is arguably the most international research community within the School, using your research skills both to enhance your translation practice and to provide you with an intellectual and philosophical perspective on the activity of translation.

This diversity of research aims to produce self-reflective and theoretically minded translators, and puts you in touch with the requirements of the marketplace.

Our current research is wide-ranging, covering the following areas:

• audiovisual translation
• literary translation
• translation and music
• translation and the internet

You may choose to work with two languages, depending on whether they can be supported by the School’s research areas. Currently, these include:

• Arabic
• Chinese
• French
• German
• Japanese
• Spanish
