Translation and Interpreting Studies MRes

This unique and innovative course is the first of its kind in the UK. You’ll get in-depth, systematic research training in translation and interpreting, and customised preparation for a PhD.

We’re one of the UK’s top translation research centres, with more than three decades of experience in postgraduate education and research training. We focus on exciting and newly developing areas of the discipline, such as translation and interpreting technologies, translation process research, translation as intercultural mediation, corpus-based translation, audiovisual translation and multimodality studies.

As well as giving you opportunities to develop your analytical and research skills, our course will also provide you with rich insights into the language industry. We regularly invite inspiring external speakers to our Centre for Translation Studies seminars series. Speakers include:

Professional translators
Interpreters
Subtitlers and audio describers
Professionals working in public services
Companies and international organisations
Representatives of professional translator and interpreter associations
Translation and interpreting researchers.
We offer professionally relevant courses and have forged close links with the main professional bodies. For example, we have been invited to take part in prestigious schemes such as the Chartered Institute of Linguists’ Higher Education Language Partnership. You can join these bodies as a student member during the course and then become a full member after you graduate. We also collaborate closely with many professional language service providers, and we have an extensive network of visiting professionals.
