| Course description |
Students will be supervised in producing practical literary translation and creative writing exercises. Selection of the texts is decided by mutual agreement between the student and the portfolio tutor; however, there will be prior focus on certain genres.
The workshops with the programme organiser will be focusing on texts in English, as all students on the MSc will be taking these workshops together. The classes with the Portfolio tutors will take the native tongue of the students into consideration while deciding on the direction of translation.
