Taught Degrees

The School offers a diverse range of taught MA degrees, which are available on a full-time or part-time basis.

• MA in Medieval & Renaissance Studies. A wide-ranging programme, covering topics and material from late Antiquity until the end of the Renaissance and taking advantage of an almost unrivalled cluster of subject-specialists across the University, all of whom are members of the Institute for Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
• MA in Arabic-English Translation and Interpreting. Designed for near-native (or native) speakers of Arabic, the course combines training in English to Arabic and Arabic to English translation, with a consideration of the relevant theoretical issues. It is suitable both for prospective professional translators and for those wishing to go on to further academic study.
• MA in Translation Studies. An MA that allows you to study both theoretical and practical pathways. Both options include translation practice and professional accreditation.
• MA in Culture and Difference. Drawing on a number of approaches, the interdisciplinary programme considers the various ways in which otherness has been considered by anthropologists and philosophers, and will deal with current issues such as Islamism, European expansion, and globalization.
