课程特征 Course Features：
This programme is ideal if you have degree-level knowledge or equivalent of a foreign language and would like to enter a career in professional translation, multilingual language technology, or develop your intercultural and interlinguistic skills. It is vocationally and practically orientated, although a research pathway provides excellent preparation for PhD-level studies. The core focus is on translation methodology and general translation skills, so you can develop the profile necessary to enter the translation profession, no matter which pathway you follow.
An important part of the programme is the dissertation which can also take the form of a practical translation project.
You may take a combination of two foreign languages, or opt for translation both into and out of the foreign language, if you are suitably qualified.
Areas of interest include European Languages or Chinese and Japanese Languages. Your pathway options depend on the language you wish to specialise in. You will specialise by means of the option modules to follow a pathway:
•The Specialist Translation pathway provides training in specialist-subject areas, the translation industry and the IT tools used by translators.
•The Research in Translation Studies pathway includes a range of approaches to the study of translational phenomena, and the link between translating and research.
