Swansea is the only University in the UK to offer the unique BA Honours English - Chinese Translation and Interpreting programme to students with a native or near-native command of Chinese Mandarin, plus a high level of competence in English as a foreign language. The BA English - Chinese Translation and Interpreting programme includes two thematically linked strands running through the degree: advanced training in English language, tailored for Chinese native speakers, including writing and study skills; training in English-Chinese translation in a range of professional domains, including media and public relations, marketing, business and finance, science, engineering and medicine; translation work experience is an option; and interpreting - law, local government and healthcare are also options. The programme is delivered through lectures, tutorials and seminars. You will usually receive nine hours minimum scheduled contact time with your teachers every week. Every degree involves choices; options will be available and if first choices are not secured then the alternative will be as good. All Arts and Humanities programmes include independent learning which requires initiative and hard work. We will challenge you with demanding teaching and assessment. Assessment includes essay, coursework and examination, presentations and a dissertation.
