BA TRANSLATION, MEDIA AND MODERN LANGUAGES
Break down barriers of language and culture with a combination of advanced language studies and training in translation and media.
This distinctive and flexible course reflects the global need for skilled language and media professionals. You’ll study your chosen language to degree level, as well as choosing from a range of specialist modules in culture, society, translation and media. You’ll explore the theory and technique of translating, and questions of style and register in a range of specialised areas, media and genres. You’ll also explore questions of policy, ethics and power in the translation industry and have the chance to gain exposure to how professional translators work through a translation work experience module.
You’ll discover new perspectives by exploring media, intercultural communication, translation and other applied language study which will help you be effective in the communication networks of today’s globalised world.
The year abroad is a compulsory element of our four-year language degrees.
You’ll enhance your studies and boost your employability by studying or working abroad. This will be an opportunity to develop intercultural awareness, resourcefulness and flexibility along with your language skills. It’s also a great way to demonstrate your resilience, confidence, and ability to thrive in an international setting to future employers
If you’re studying French or Spanish, you’ll have the option of taking up a teaching assistantship in Europe or a work placement, or of studying at one of our many partner universities. If you’re studying Japanese you’ll spend your time abroad studying at one of our Japanese partner universities.
If you are a double honours student taking two of French, Spanish or Japanese from A level, you will normally split the year between two countries where those languages are spoken.
If you are a double honours student taking one of your degree languages from below A level, you will normally spend your entire year abroad in the country of the weaker language. It is strongly recommended that you follow at least some modules in the stronger language in your university placement and/or spend the summer working or studying in the country of the other language. We can provide support and advice on this.
