MA Chinese-English Translation Our Chinese-English Translation MA programme will increase your understanding of the field of translation and interpreting. You will explore how practical translation is informed by theory, develop your verbal and written communication skills and build your IT literacy to help you produce translation of the highest quality.
It provides a foundation for students looking to enter or develop their careers in translation project management, freelance translation or as in-house translators and interpreters in international corporate and government institutions.
The skills developed through this degree are transferable to a variety of related careers, such as international relations, PR, marketing, journalism, and business. In addition, the research and theoretical components of this programme provide an excellent entry point to the field of translation studies for anyone aiming to pursue a PhD in the UK or abroad. Students coming to the UK from overseas not only learn advanced translation skills from and into Chinese, but also develop their English language competency and their knowledge of UK and international culture. The programme is also open to students for whom English is a native language with a high level of Chinese, indicatively HSK 5 or equivalent.
The School of Modern Languages has an established record in translator training and excellent industry links. Its translation staff include practising professional translators, interpreters and researchers. We are a corporate member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting and an institutional member of the American Translators’ Association.
The programme consists of five core units, two optional units, and a 15,000-word dissertation, which can be a practical project. Options in past years have included subtitling, CAT tools, video game localisation, and interpreting for business.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in Chinese Studies, or equivalent. Applicants may be required to do a translation test as part of the application process. Non-traditional qualifications/routes may also be considered.
MA Translation This is a distance-learning master’s programme for aspiring or practising translators. It is suitable for graduates in any discipline offering one or two of the following languages in addition to English: Czech, French, German, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish. The MA combines language-specific practice with training in translation theory and translation technologies. There is an option to do a practice- based as well as a research-based dissertation.
You will study interactively, as part of an online group led by a tutor. The programme is taught entirely online and you are not required to come to campus. Our library has an excellent stock of e-books and e-journals. However, you are as much a member of the University as any other student and we are delighted to welcome you to Bristol if you want to visit. We organise a programme of talks and seminars each year.
Online group discussion means that we have a lively and supportive learning community. If you need help on a one-to-one basis, tutors can support you in a number of different ways, for example using Skype, phone or email.
The University has close links with professional associations and helps students to take advantage of internships in the EU and the UK where possible. We have corporate membership of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting and institutional membership of the American Translators’ Association (ATA). We are on the ATA’s list of approved providers of translator training.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in the relevant language(s) or in any other subject, provided the language(s) qualifications of study are equivalent to a minimum score of C1 in the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). Non-traditional qualifications/routes may also be considered.
