| Summary | The course consists of 10 hours of tutorials with a German-speaking tutor and another 10 hours of workshops with Translation Studies staff. Students will be supervised in practical translation exercises. Selection of texts is decided by mutual agreement between the student and the translation tutor. The direction of translation for the practical translation exercises is at the discretion of the practical translation tutor. The most common practice is to receive training in translation into English, but in some cases both directions, i.e. from and into English, are available. |
