The MA Translation aims to:
• Enable students to develop in-depth knowledge and understanding of the prevailing theories and practices of translation through intellectual and interactive enquiry and advanced translation practice; • Provide grounding in the field of Translation Studies, defined as theory and practice, that will enable students both to undertake independent research and/or work as professional translators; • Encourage sophisticated intellectual enquiry and debate with fellow students, academics and professional practitioners, drawn from a range of relevant backgrounds, through interrogation of theoretical models and analysis of practice-based work; • Encourage students to develop professional translation skills and learn to theorise within the context of the discipline and their own practice; • Provide students with a good knowledge of the translation market place; • Foster a dynamic and innovative approach to translation as a mode for understanding the socio-political and cultural complexities posed by the movement of peoples and the demands of multi-lingual and multicultural organisations and societies; • Equip students to use their writing talents to the best of their ability, and to develop as independent translators and self-reflective lifelong learners.
