Translation Swansea University

Overview

Dynamic research in the department has won attention and funding from external bodies including the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol, the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), Wellcome Trust and the EU. The Translation programme offered by Swansea University supports a number of research groups and centres where many postgraduate research students are based, and welcomes proposals across a range of translation and interpreting topics.

Doctoral researchers develop and hone research skills needed for high-level work in the field of modern languages, translation and interpreting, while skills and training programmes provide further support. There are opportunities to deliver presentations at departmental seminars and postgraduate conferences. There may also be opportunities to teach undergraduate tutorials and seminars, receive training and payment, and obtain financial support for attending conferences or conducting research away from Swansea.
