Glasgow-Nankai Translation Studies

The Translation Studies Glasgow-Nankai MSc offers a multi-disciplinary, applied approach to research and the benefits of working with many close connections with Translation Studies scholars and practitioners within the UK and China. The MSc programme provides the knowledge and skills for both postgraduate work (including PhD projects) and careers in translation, enjoying the opportunities and stimulating experiences that both Universities have to offer. We hope you will enjoy finding yourself immersed in a stimulating intellectual environment from which you will develop a wider perspective and deeper insight into your own specialisation.
