Advanced Translation from and into Spanish (SPAN0097)

The MA module in Advanced Translation from and into Spanish provides students with an opportunity to get to grips with translation processes practically. In class, we commonly go over the intricacies of the translation process, working with different texts and registers. These include literary texts, humoristic texts, medical texts, journalistic texts and children’s literature, among others.

The classes are typically structured with a theoretical introduction to the subject followed by seminars where students are required to actively participate in commentary and translation exercises. The students are set some theoretical readings or exercises before class. Some classes have homework that needs to be completed before the following class. We normally have a high number of international students and therefore texts are translated from and into Spanish.

Research Internship in the Social Sciences (SOCS0068)

This optional module provides students with an opportunity to gain advanced research skills by undertaking a mentored research internship within the Social Research Institute. This module extends previous research methods training in the social sciences in two ways: (a) it will provide a mentored “real world” opportunity to put into practice research skills learned on required methods modules within the context of collaborative research; and (2) it will provide opportunities for students to learn additional and advanced research skills not taught in the required methods modules (e.g., advanced quantitative and/or qualitative analysis techniques, team-based research skills). The module culminates in the production of a research output in the form of a journal article, policy paper, conference paper, or other report of findings.
