The program offers students a full range of theoretical, conceptual and methodological tools necessary for a deeper analysis and understanding of issues related to translation. Applicants are required to demonstrate competence, to the satisfaction of the Admissions Committee, in English and any other language.
Complete your Master in Translation Studies in the only such program in Canada that doesn’t require applicants to be proficient in both English and French. You’ll gain an understanding of translation as you examine questions such as how translators address challenges, obstacles, conflicts and ethical issues. You will graduate with a full range of theoretical, conceptual and methodological tools necessary for a deeper analysis and understanding of issues related to translation. As part of your degree, you’ll have the option to complete a thesis or major research paper, which can focus on a wide range of research topics and language combinations and can be written in English or French.
You’ll find the dynamic Translation Studies community at Glendon offers a variety of research-focused activities throughout the year, such as a translation research summer school, lectures, workshops, networking events and an annual graduate conference.
