This vocationally orientated course will enable you to develop your translation skills, both from and into English, to a professional level. You will tackle a wide variety of general translation passages and will have the opportunity to develop new translation skills in the areas of business and ICT. Modules in Theories of Translation, Critique of Translation, Humour and its Translation and Text Linguistics provide you with the theoretical underpinning to enable you to write the Masters dissertation.
The distance course, which is conducted entirely on-line, allows you to decide how many, or how few, modules you want to take per year. This gives you the flexibility to vary your commitment according to other calls on your time. Course fees are paid on a 'per module' basis, so the cost of the course can easily be spread to make it more manageable. The Postgraduate Diploma is made up of 120 credits. If you want to proceed to the MA, you will complete a 60-credit dissertation module as well.
