The Durham approach to Translation Studies offers a distinctive perspective to BSL translation/interpreting. Translation study is positioned as an essential component for interpreters. The School of Modern Languages & Cultures provides a languages rich and
multicultural environment to study. The MA BSL strand uses innovative and contemporary approaches to study.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Programme structure</b><br>
Year One provides a foundation for student development and tutor assessment at the end of which advice and recommendation regarding options for Year Two will be given. All modules have a 50% minimum pass for all assignments and exams. A student intending to
follow the professional interpreter route needs to be at the point in their development where they may achieve minimum assessment criteria for the Interpreting module of Year Two, Option One.</font></div>

translation.</font></div>
