Description

This is a portfolio of independent advanced translation work completed by the student as a concluding part of their programme of study. This work will reflect some of the key theoretical and practical issues addressed in the programme prescriptions. For students working on a portfolio of translation tasks, the portfolio will include translations of at least 10,000 words in total, of at least three different types (health, legal, literary, business, etc.). For students working on a portfolio of interpreting tasks, the portfolio will include a reflective report of 10,000 words on at least three interpreting tasks, reflecting on challenges, issues and solutions on the task. This work will be supervised by a staff member from the relevant language programme or an external assessor if required.

Learning Outcomes

As a student in this course, you will gain practical experience in the fields of T&I, translating and reflecting on T&I tasks and scenarios. This portfolio will better equip you to practice T&I tasks and to theorise issues at stake, whether these occur textually or in the real world. Students will have an ability to apply the theories and methodologies studied in other T&I courses, and to better home in on self-reflective analyses.
