TRANSLATION-RELATED COURSES IN UK-BASED

UNIVERSITIES
Translation Studies, as an academic disciplinary study, is not popular with
US-based universities. There are very few universities which provide
certificate and degree courses in translation. For the convenience of those
interested in doing courses in translation, I have made the following list of
such courses on offer at US universities. As you would see in this list, there
are only two universities Binghamton and Kent State which offer PhD in
Translation Studies. Moreover, the translation courses offered at other
universities largely concentrate on professional side of translation, providing
certificates in specific languages to translators. As we all would agree, the
high significance of translating technical as well as literary work is without
question in the globalised world of today. The universities in the US, thus,
should pay attention to this pressing need, and offer BS, MA, and PhD
programmes in translation.
