Program Description

The MA in Chinese-English Translation and Language is available if you are a first language Mandarin speaker from China, interested in an applied language career such as translating and teaching English or Chinese as a foreign language.This course gives you language-specific skills in translation studies and applied linguistics. It aims to lock the broad area of translation into a specific context, translating between English and Chinese.

You will address the issue of non-native speakers as English teachers, applied language studies, and translating and teaching English or Chinese as a second language. Our degree proves equally attractive to Mandarin teachers wishing to build knowledge in applied linguistics theory and practice.The faculty is based on our stunning Singleton Park campus, in parkland overlooking Swansea Bay on the edge of the Gower Peninsula. Within the School of Culture and Communication is our Graduate Centre. Designed to promote individual and collaborative research activity of international standard, the centre provides a supportive environment for postgraduate research and taught masters study. It offers postgraduate training to enhance academic and professional development, and facilitates seminar programmes, workshops and international conferences.
