MA Specialised Translation

The program will familiarise you with the socio-cultural, linguistic, and technical dimensions that characterize specialized multilingual material. Through working with dedicated software and high-tech industry-standard equipment, you will learn the skills that you need to enter the professional market and gain the knowledge to pursue further research in this field. You will work between English and another language of your choice, translating into your mother tongue. There is a strong emphasis on translation tools (in particular SDL Trados Studio) and on localization, e.g. for video games, as well as on technical and scientific translation, and translation-specific professional skills. In addition, you will be able to choose optional modules from the wide range offered in our other MA courses, the MA Audiovisual Translation and the MA Intercultural Communication in the Creative Industries.
