Research in Translation Studies

 

Course organiser for 2011/2012: TBC

The course is taught in the second semester, two hours per week for 8 weeks. It will provide students with research and bibliographical skills specific to the discipline of translation studies. The students will learn what counts as a research question in the discipline, how to formulate a worthwhile topic, and which methodologies are available for them. The course will be the students’ crucial preparation for the dissertation stage and will enable the students to obtain knowledge and understanding in particular areas of their own interest.

The course is assessed by a research proposal of 4000 words. The proposal will be the basis for the student’s dissertation. Students will give an oral presentation of their proposals in the final session of the course in order to receive feedback.
