Student Experience

“Doing the Translation Studies MA at Bangor has been a massively rewarding experience: the course is broad but thorough, with a good balance of theory and practice; the department is small and friendly; tutors are accessible and supportive. Thanks to their encouragement I have entered competitions, met leading translation scholars and been awarded a PhD studentship, also at Bangor. I can’t wait to take my studies further in September.”
