课程特征 Course Features：
The MA programme gives graduates in Modern Languages the opportunity to acquire a qualification which will facilitate their entry to the translating profession. It may also be suitable for practising translators who do not have, but wish to gain, formal qualifications. The MA is currently available with the following languages in addition to English: Czech, French, German, Italian, Mandarin (subject to approval), Portuguese, Russian, Spanish.
This is an e-learning programme, which draws on the Faculty's considerable expertise in distance-learning technology. The computer-based nature of the course is particularly appropriate to this qualification, in that it both prepares for and models the working practices of professional translators. A general theoretical grounding and units relating to the professional practice of translation are combined with intensive language-specific practice designed to encourage reflection on the most effective strategies for translation.
The course does not require residence in Bristol, and may be taken full or part-time (and to initial Certificate as well as Diploma level). It is therefore suitable for people in full-time employment who wish for a career change. You will enrol initially for the full MA or for the Diploma. Diploma students may upgrade to MA status on successful completion of the taught programme, on the basis of additional submission of appropriate written work. If you have appropriate professional qualifications, you may be eligible for exemption from the taught units so that you can complete the MA by the dissertation-only route.
