Summary
Translation is part of the Modern Languages research cluster, which provides a vibrant environment for both disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship. Recognised as a centre of excellence for research into the languages, literatures, histories, linguistics, visual cultures, and cultural identities of Europe and beyond, the cluster is founded on a dynamic and forward-looking research ethos. Translation is a field of research that is expanding dynamically. We welcome innovative research proposals that interrogate – through either practice- or research-led projects, translation in a variety of areas and modes. For example, :
- Audiovisual translation, multimodality and accessibility;
- Crisis translation
- Translation and cultural encounter
- Translation and development
- Translation and language policy
- Translation and linguistics
- Translation and literature
- Translation and minority languages
- Translation and sacred texts
- Translation and space/cities/urban contexts/migration
- Translation and the global/local
- Translation and theatre performance
- Translation and tourism
- Translation and violent conflict
- Translation ethics
- Translation in digital contexts
- Translation in media and geo-politics
- Translation in museums and exhibition spaces
| Study type | Research |

| Level | RQF Level 8 |
| Entry requirements | A 2.1 Honours degree or equivalent qualification acceptable to the University. While a Master’s degree (or equivalent qualification acceptable to the University) is not essential, it is desirable and applicants without this qualification will be considered on a case-by-case basis. |
