From tourism and advertising to international business communication, people with high-level translation skills are needed in almost every industry. You’ll learn what it takes to enter the field, as well as push forward into further academic study. This pathway will focus on translating to and from Arabic. This course will prepare you for work in the translation professions and provide the ideal foundation if you want to progress further in the academic discipline of Translation. You will practise translating between English and Arabic, as well as gaining a thorough grounding in the academic discipline of Translation. The course will equip you with advanced research skills and research paradigms relevant to investigations of translation contexts, processes, products and producers. You will study in-depth the history and theory of translation and develop the skills to critically analyse current issues being debated within the discipline. Our focus on research topics, skills and methods in Translation prepares you for your final dissertation and will equip you with the essential skills needed for entry into the translation professions. As well as the translation professions such as text translating and editing, subtitling and localisation, our course prepares you for opportunities in careers such as tourism, journalism, copy writing and international business communication. Our MA programme is also suited for progression to study at PhD level. NB. The PGDip has the same modules as the MA, but does not include a dissertation.
