Overview

The Audiovisual Translation program of the Hamad Bin Khalifa University, delivered by TII, is designed to train specialists in the mediation of audiovisual texts, both for foreign language viewers and sensory-impaired audiences.

The flourishing field of audiovisual translation opens itself to fundamental and applied research in a wide range of domains. Taking audiovisual text as its focus area, research can address technical and technological issues, as well as linguistic and/or cultural and ideological issues. In audiovisual translation, socially oriented scholars will find ample space for applied research with an impact in domains such as television, the arts, cultural, and educational contexts.

Graduates of the program are equipped to:

Master the practical and technological skills required for a career in subtitling, dubbing, voiceover, subtitling for the hard of hearing and audio description.

Use their enhanced analytical skills in a practical setting.

Pursue careers in translation or opt for advanced research at PhD level.
