Course summary
The MPhil/PhD Translation by Practice offers a new approach to studying Translation, incorporating a creative practical project. This can include translating a book or play, subtitling a film, or translating song lyrics or poetry. The possibilities are nearly endless. Whatever your passion, you will be able to incorporate it into this research degree, by engaging with translation or interpreting as a creative practice. You will be evaluated based on a written thesis of up to 70,000 words, as well as a creative project of a minimum of 30,000 words. In your creative project, you won’t be restricted in terms of language pair or translating direction.
Assessment method
Assessment is by thesis and viva voce and there is no restriction on language pair.
Entry requirements
Applicants should normally possess at least a first degree (normally of upper second class honours standard or above) or equivalent. Applicants should also normally have (or expect to be awarded) a taught Masters in a relevant subject area. Where an applicant possesses non-standard qualifications or equivalent experience, these will be considered. No prior qualification in Translation Studies or Interpreting Studies is required for admission to the programme, but relevant equivalent experience in contexts of translation and/or interpreting theory and practice, or the interpretation or communication of meaning across borders of language and culture must be demonstrated through the personal statement. If English isn’t your first language, you will need an IELTS score (or equivalent English language qualification) of 7.0 with a 7.0 in writing and no element lower than 6.5 to study this programme.
