Course Description
The MA in Forensic Linguistics and Translation is an interdisciplinary course that focuses on language and communication in highly sensitive contexts of investigative interviews and translation in criminal and civil justice. It brings cutting-edge interdisciplinary research to the fore and contextualises it in the latest theoretical and applied background of linguistics, psychology and the law. This MA is academically novel, practice-led and comprehensively structured around committed teaching and guided individual study.
The core of the MA is a new module in Forensic Linguistics and Translation which is focused on language in other language-driven activities such as translating and interpreting legal contracts, documents, and witness testimony, as well as collecting and analysing linguistic evidence.
