The course covers translation skills development mainly from English into Mandarin (although some translation into English will also be practised), with the objective of producing different types of written translations, some of them relating back to the student's degree subject.

The course will cover fundamental theoretical concepts of translation but with the focus on teaching practical translation skills, making students aware of linguistic and cultural differences in subject-related areas.

The course will enhance knowledge and use of linguistically complex structures (a variety of styles and registers from a range of authentic academic material).

Various transferable skills will also be further developed, for instance:

Using two languages in comparison, to critically communicate translation matters in a foreign language with peers.
 Raising awareness of appropriate text structures, genre, audience in English and Mandarin.
 Reading research material in Mandarin and producing a summary translation which can feed into a student’s main degree/career.
