This is a four-year degree programme designed for students who are particularly interested in developing expertise in key complementary disciplines in today's fast-changing world - translation and translation issues, and media in the broad sense - while extending and consolidating their proficiency in Japanese language to Honours level with, optionally, a Subsidiary language. The programme combines specialised study of the Honours language, including mediation skills (translation, interpreting), with non-language-competence modules in translation issues and media study, for example Translation Issues in the Media, Subtitling and Dubbing, Translation and Adaptation, Translation Theory and Practice, European Media and the EU, Politics and Mass Media, The Construction of News.
