Turn your enthusiasm for Translation into real-world application through our Practice-Based PhD. This innovative program combines our strengths in Translation Studies and hands-on research guidance to help you create a unique translated work accompanied by scholarly analysis.
Become part of a vibrant research community in the Department of Modern Languages, with access to specialized Translation Studies resources including professional software and comprehensive library collections featuring digital materials.
In this practice-focused program, you'll work on translating a text between 18,000-50,000 words that meets professional publishing standards. Your translation will be complemented by an analytical commentary of at least 50,000 words, grounded in thorough research and exploring relevant creative and critical approaches.
Suitable source materials range from literary works (such as fiction, poetry, or scripts) to non-literary texts (including memoirs, academic papers, or scientific documents).
