This exciting course draws on cutting-edge academic research by a team of experts in translation, transnational and transcultural studies.You will develop a rigorous theoretical understanding of translation and intercultural communication, with the opportunity to produce your own translations and analyse existing translations and to reflect about the critical skills required for the language industry and the translation profession.The interdisciplinary programme examines translation between English and Chinese (standard Mandarin), French, German, Italian and Spanish in a cultural context.
