Course Structure
The taught element of the M. Phil in Literary Translation runs for the first two terms. Students take a number of compulsory courses, and choose from a range of optional courses. The ‘Translation Seminar’, runs through both terms; the courses entitled ‘Theory and Methodology of Comparative Literature and Literary Translation’ and ‘Theory and History’ run in successive terms, and the course ‘Texts and Translation’ will be taught by full-time Trinity Staff in the first term, and by a guest translator (Peter Sirr) in the second term. All the courses are compulsory for all students. In addition, students take ONE option in each term on a specialist course of their own choosing. Regular class attendance is required.
The non-taught element of the course involves the submission of a portfolio of 35-40 pages of translated text and a dissertation of 20,000 words. The portfolio (two copies) is to be submitted by May 2012 and the dissertation (two copies) is submitted by Friday, 31st August 2012.
