Literary Translation, MA by Research
An MA by Research in Literary Translation enables you to undertake a substantial project, led by your own passions and interests.
It represents a highly respected qualification which can present a pathway to a career in academia or widen your scope for employment in fields such as education, government or the private sector.
Your project will take one year full-time or two years part-time. It is suitable if you want to undertake a first research degree as an isolated culmination of taught studies, or if you are considering further research in form of a PhD.
You will submit a thesis of up to 40,000 words, demonstrating original research with a significant contribution to the subject area. This is followed by an oral examination of the thesis (a viva voce examination, or viva).
Your project will be agreed in consultation with supervisors and we recommend these discussions begin before applying, to help draw up an initial proposal.
