Cynnwys cwrs
With guidance, students will be asked to choose a topic of their own for further research, an extended text for translation into their language speciality or a comparative research topic in two of their language specialities. In the case of a research-based 20,000-word dissertation, they will be expected to produce an independently researched piece which will reflect and prove the knowledge and skills they have acquired during the taught modules. The topic chosen may be specific to one culture or comparative. The extended translation option will require the student to submit a 12,000-word translation of his/her choice (the selection of this text will be consulted with the relevant supervisor) followed by an 8,000-word detailed commentary where relevant translational strategies, theories and choices are explained.
