In this project-based unit, students will produce translations into English from other language sources, or vice-versa. By engaging in outreach with an external organization (i. e. educational, cultural, tourist, healthcare, charitable) under the supervision of an academic, students will identify relevant areas-i. e. literary, scientific, health, industry-and undergo theoretical- and applied-translation training based on established methods within the field. Building on their existing language skills, students will learn how to research specialised subjects to produce high-quality translations that are ready for dissemination or presentation by the counterpart institution.
