Overview

The Translation, Media and Modern Language (with a Year Abroad) BA programme from the University of East Anglia combines degree level learning of French, Spanish or Japanese language with the study of translation issues and media in today’s fast-changing world.

Alongside your chosen language you’ll have the opportunity to choose from a range of specialist modules in culture, society, translation and media. You’ll spend your third year abroad at a university in an appropriate country where your honours language is spoken.

In translation competence modules you’ll cover the theory and technique of translating, and questions of style and register in a range of specialised areas. In your translation issues modules, which deal with issues associated with globalisation, you’ll be looking at various translation types. These include the transposition of text between languages, media and genres, multilingual websites or IT-mediated texts, film subtitles and theatre.

You’ll have the chance to gain exposure to how professional translators work through a translation work experience module.
