Overview
Its combined focus on translation and adaptation – unique within the UK – widens the scope of Translation Studies to address movement not only between languages but also between different media.
What you'll study
- At the heart of the Translation and Adaptation Studies programme from Queen Mary University of London are two compulsory elements: a core course which introduces students to modern translation theory, from linguistic approaches to recent postcolonial critiques; and a dissertation, constituting either a research thesis or an extended translation/adaptation and commentary.
- Beyond these elements, the programme is distinguished by its flexibility, offering several pathways for students based on their expertise and career goals.
Programme Structure
- Core module: Translation Theory I: How to Translate (30 credits). This module introduces students to modern translation theory from the nineteenth century to the present day, including linguistic and technical theories of translation, theories of translational ethics, and more recent work from the cultural/postcolonial turn. Requirements include oral presentation and essay.
- Optional module: Intermedial Adaptation: Theory and Practice (30 credits). This module introduces students to theories of adaptation and will explore these in relation to a series of intermedial case studies going beyond the traditional focus on adaptations from literature to film. Requirements include essay.
