Description:

Break down barriers of language and culture by combining advanced language studies with training in translation and media. Translation and media play vital roles in communication and this flexible degree reflects the global need for skilled language and media professionals. You will study one or two of French and/or Spanish and/or Japanese language to degree level, as well as choosing from a range of specialist modules in culture, society, translation and media.

You will explore the theory and technique of translating, and questions of style and register in a range of specialised areas, media and genres, including multilingual publications, multilingual websites, packaging, digital and online texts, film subtitles, and theatre translation. You’ll have the chance to gain firsthand professional translating experience through a work experience module. You will spend your third year in a country where your honours language is spoken. If you are studying two languages at degree level, you will split your time between two countries where those languages are spoken. For French and Spanish, during this year you will deepen your experience of the language and culture by studying at a local university, taking up a teaching assistantship or going on a work placement. If you study Japanese you will spend your time studying at one of our many partner universities across Japan.
