The Centre for Translation Studies (CTS) at University of Surrey invites applications for a place in our MRes in Translation and Interpreting Studies course. Students attending this course get in-depth, systematic research training in translation and interpreting, and customised preparation for a PhD and an academic career. This unique and innovative course is the first of its kind in the UK and draws on the research areas CTS is well known for: translation and interpreting technologies, translation process research, translation as intercultural mediation, corpus-based translation, audiovisual translation and multimodality studies. CTS has more recently embarked on exciting, fast-developing areas, including machine translation, Natural Language Processing for translation/interpreting and hybrid workflows in translation/interpreting. The research we carry out at CTS is in touch with recent technological and social developments, as we maintain a strong focus on the responsible integration of technologies in workflows where multilingual and multimodal mediation is key.
By studying with us, you'll join our internationally recognised Centre for Translation Studies, thus benefiting from a combination of leading research expertise and professional relevance and honing skills you will need in order to thrive in academia or in the industry. As an MRes student, you will take two compulsory taught modules and select two optional modules (60 credits). You will then complete your degree with an MRes in Translation and Interpreting Studies Dissertation (120 credits). The dissertation, which is longer than a typical MA dissertation, will enable you to research a topic in greater depth than is the case in a conventional MA project format. This year, we invite in particular students interested in pursuing dissertation topics related to machine translation, corpora in translation and interpreting, and the use of NLP for translation and interpreting.
