课程特征 Course Features：
Our MA course is based based within Durham’s School of Modern Languages and Cultures (MLAC), which comprises specialist Language Departments whose Teaching and Research activities are rated as amongst some of the best in the world. In 2011, the MA has become a member of the European Masters in Translation (EMT) Network; in ordert to be admitted in this network universities have to prove that their translator training course complies with high standards of teaching and learning quality - the course covers a broad range of competences and is tailored to suit market demands. The MATS programme allows the students to choose a theoretical pathway and a practical pathway; both options include translation practice and professional accreditation, if the required level is achieved.
The MA in Translation Studies (MATS) at Durham prepares candidates to work as translators between English and Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and BSL.
