We have been training literary translators for nearly two decades. This course combines a strong practical focus with serious reflection on stylistic, cultural and theoretical questions and is supported by the British Centre for Literary Translation (BCLT).
Many of our students go on to become published translators, while others work in publishing or the media. The MA Literary Translation will also provide you with a very good basis for PhD study, should you choose to take your studies further. You will also benefit from our annual programme of readings, visits and residencies from writers and translators.
We aim to support you in gaining an understanding of the professional aspects of being a translator. In the three main modules that make up the course, and in special workshops with professional translators as well as in the BCLT Summer School, you will have plenty of opportunities to network and understand what exactly ‘being a translator’ involves. You will also have the opportunity to join the editing team for our journal Norwich Papers. At the end of your programme you will be asked to contribute a translation to the MALT Anthology, published by Gatehouse Press with the support of the BCLT.
