Translation Studies PhD

University of Glasgow

Translation Studies research is rapidly expanding. We host a strong postgraduate community and discipline-specific networks and offer a stimulating research seminar programme, extensive library resources, wide-ranging expertise in the field and the opportunity for interdisciplinary supervision. Translation Studies research in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures is wide-ranging with students and staff working in fields from literary through to audiovisual translation across a broad range of languages. These include: Catalan, Czech, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish. As Translation Studies is necessarily interdisciplinary, the programme at Glasgow draws in a range of expertise across different fields of study. Applicants are encouraged to look at the research profiles of colleagues in all areas of the School and if appropriate, the University. Joint supervision allows students to be advised in Translation Studies but also in a complementary subject area, examples being creative writing, the graphic novel, medieval and renaissance studies, music, law or medicine. Our staff produce world-leading research in the field and engage in wide-ranging collaborations across the College of Arts (English Literature, History, Philosophy, Theology).Our College of Arts Graduate School creates a productive and interdisciplinary collegiate environment for all of our research students. We offer a range of services, courses and skills development opportunities for research students. The College of Arts is home to a vibrant and diverse community of students enrolled on taught masters and research programmes within a stimulating intellectual and cultural environment. Across every school and subject area the college is home to world-leading and agenda-setting research.
