Bachelor of Arts Degree |
The Translation programme is a university-level
liberal arts programme that also prepares graduates for professional
work. The professional aspects include courses in documentation
and terminology, professional and technical writing, and an
optional professional internship.
The School of Translation requires students to complete
20 courses to obtain the Honours B.A. Since students admitted
to the School need to have completed a minimum of one year
of university (four university level courses or the equivalent),
they will have a maximum of 16 courses to complete after
being admitted to the School of Translation.
Students with
more than one year of university education may be eligible
to receive credit for the courses they have completed.
The School
of Translation has a curriculum of ten (10) mandatory courses
which are:
- second language courses to improve competence
and performance
- linguistic courses to provide theoretical background
that has applications in translation
- stylistic courses to better
acquaint the student with various writing styles in
both languages
- documentation and terminology classes to improve
research techniques
- practical translation seminars
Students may be exempted
from some of the required courses depending on previous
studies.
The remaining courses that complete the B.A. degree
are other collegial requirements and electives. Your advisor,
a faculty member of the School of Translation, will help
you make a selection best suited to your personal profile
and interests.
Every student should consider the advantages
of taking a minor subject, especially in a field which may
be useful for a translation career, such as Spanish, Economics,
the Social Sciences or Computer Studies.
