Program Overview

Introduction to Translation Studies at UCC

Translation education and research is one of the core interdisciplinary areas in the School of Literature, Languages and Cultures, bringing together expertise in different aspects of Translation Studies, translator training, translation technologies, cultural translation and adaptation, alongside a wealth of experience in creative and professional translation practice.

Interdisciplinary Approach

It bridges and crosses the boundaries between linguistics, applied languages, comparative literature, history and area studies, cultural studies, audio-visual studies and ICT, at undergraduate level (principally in practical translation classes), postgraduate level (through delivery of the MA in Translation Studies and support for a vibrant PhD research community), and in research, scholarship and creative practice (centred on the dynamic Translation and Creativity cluster within CASiLAC).
