Course programme

MA in Translation

Mode:
part-time

The MA is currently available with the following languages in addition to English: Czech, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish.

This is an e-learning programme, which draws on the Faculty's considerable expertise in distance-learning technology. The computer-based nature of the course is particularly appropriate to this qualification, in that it both prepares for and models the working practices of professional translators. A general theoretical grounding and units relating to the professional practice of translation are combined with intensive language-specific practice designed to encourage reflection on the most effective strategies for translation.

The course does not require residence in Bristol. You will enrol initially for the full MA or for the Diploma. Diploma students may upgrade to MA status on successful completion of the taught programme, on the basis of additional submission of appropriate written work.

Programme Structure

Master's Level
In order to obtain the MA, you must complete an annotated translation into English of a previously untranslated text of approximately 10,000 words in the original, or a dissertation on an aspect of literary translation or translation theory.

Please note that not all units may be offered in any one year and others may be substituted.
