A masters course in translation with a difference!
MA in Translation, Writing and Cultural Difference at the University of
Warwick
The University of Warwick is now recruiting for their new MA in Translation,
Writing and Cultural Difference. This Masters course is a joint venture
between the Centre for Translation and Comparative Cultural Studies, the
Departments of French Studies, German Studies and Italian, and the Warwick
Writing Programme.
The course combines both theoretical and practical approaches to translation
with consideration of the ways in which writers and translators negotiate
the boundaries of cultural difference - and provides a framework for
practising and enhancing creative writing skills. The course is designed for
those who have an interest in viewing issues of language and cultural
difference from an international standpoint, and prepares students for
careers where the skilful use of words is the key to understanding and
shaping reality.
To gain a place on this course, you will need a first degree (minimum
requirement BA Honours upper second class or equivalent) from a university
in the UK, continental Europe, or elsewhere, and have a good command of
English plus at least one of the MA’s core languages (French, German, or
Italian). You will be asked to present a portfolio which includes samples of
both academic and creative writing, plus a sample of translation between
French, German or Italian and English for consideration by our admissions
selectors.
Bursaries of £1000 to assist with fees are available on a competitive basis
(deadline for bursary applications is 31 May, 2006).
