In all of these activities, you’ll use contemporary rather than literary or historical materials. Youll put theory into practice on your year abroad as you push your language and communication skills to the next level, before choosing from advanced language modules in your final year. <br/><br/>You may have the opportunity to take a third language as a non-credit module with certification.

You’ll look at issues associated with globalisation by looking at various translation types, including the transposition of text between languages, media and genres. You’ll also have the opportunity to choose from a range of specialist modules in translation, media, culture and society. <br/><br/>You’ll apply your language and translation knowledge to a range of real-world situations, engaging in authentic assessments that will help you develop a wide range of skills. These will not only include written and spoken skills, but also project management, teamwork and interpersonal skills, and leadership skills, all preparing you to engage in todays globalised world. <br/><br/>**Disclaimer**<br/><br/>Course details are subject to change.
