Master of Arts in Audiovisual and Literary Translation

Building on the internationally recognised expertise of both our Departments of Language and Linguistics, and our Department of Literature, Film and Theatre Studies, our MA Audiovisual and Literary Translation course will allow you to further specialise in literature and literary translation, audiovisual translation, and general translation. We combine translation theory with practice, allowing you to develop an in-depth understanding of the linguistic, stylistic, and cultural aspects of translation. You will develop your own personal translation skills, allowing you to translate a literary work accurately and creatively from one language to another.

Our course is offered with the combination of English and one of the following languages: Arabic, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. You can be a native or near-native speaker of any of these languages, as you learn to translate to and from both languages. You work with native speakers in developing your ability to move accurately and quickly between your chosen language and English.

A 2:2 degree, or international equivalent, in any discipline, taught in Arabic, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish. You may also be considered with a lower-class degree taught in Arabic, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish, if you have translation, linguistics or interpreting experience; or a 2:2 degree not taught in Arabic, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish if you have translation, linguistics or interpreting experience. IELTS 6.5 overall with a minimum component score of 6.0, TOEFL IBT 88 overall with minimum component scores: listening 17, reading 18, writing 24, and speaking 20.
