Earning a PhD or MPhil in Translation allows you to undertake an extensive research project driven by your personal interests. These prestigious degrees can open doors to academic careers or expand job opportunities in diverse fields including translation, linguistics, education, government, and private industry. The PhD program requires three years of full-time study (or six years part-time), while the MPhil takes two years full-time or four years part-time. Candidates submit a thesis of up to 90,000 words for PhD evaluation or 60,000 words for MPhil assessment, showcasing original research that makes a meaningful contribution to the field.
