Graduate Translation Courses (including the M.Phil in Literary Translation at Trinity College)

Here are some web pages of institutions offering taught postgraduate translation couses including Italian. There are many other good translation courses which unfortunately do not include Italian among their languages. Research postgraduate degrees in Translation Studies can be taken in many other universities, including Trinity College Dublin. This page was updated in January 2006, and again in August 2007: a laborious task, as the current fashion is for universities to keep re-labelling their faculties, departments and courses, losing their web addresses in the process.

This is sample information. The page is under development. Although we have heard very good things about some of these courses, no guarantees are offered by the TCD Italian Department. Some courses where Italian is definitely no longer available, or where course content has become unidentifiable, have been removed.
