Translation and Interpreting Studies
Translation and Interpreting (T&I) is a multi-faceted inter-discipline. Different fields interact with each other and generate ideas.

The University's main library has an excellent collection of literature on translation and interpreting studies, including e-journals.
Interdisciplinary study
In today's world, trade and culture are becoming increasingly globalised. Understanding this and how translating and interpreting work as a whole, is an ongoing challenge for researchers and professional translators and interpreters.
This means that our research is interdisciplinary, reaching into areas such as:
- education
- sociology
- politics
- literature and creative writing
- law
- psychology
As well as expanding academic knowledge in translation and interpreting studies, our findings feed directly into our translator and interpreter training programmes.

We offer a one-year Translation Studies MLitt research degree. You can also study research degrees: Translation Studies MLitt and Film Studies MLitt.
Our Translating and Interpreting MPhil; PhD research programmes allow you to specialise in Translation and Interpreting.
