I haven't been on the forum in a while, but whenever I reach some milestone in my life, I always think back to the fact this site and forum was the catalyst to get me going. I joined over 7 years ago when I wanted to go back and finish my BA. I tried the Excelsior route, but it didn't pan out, so I went back the B&M route and finished my BA! I couldn't stop there, so at the end of this semster, I will be receiving my Masters! Now I am hungry to keep on going. My question to the forum is does anyone know of a doctoral/PhD program in Translation Studies? I have tried a few searches without any real success. I thank you all in advance. Phillypoet
Nice job, man! I hope to follow suit very soon. You happened to ask a question that is related to my profession, and therefore, is something I have searched far and wide for in the DL world. Unfortunately, there isn't too much out there. The University of South Africa has a Ph.D in Linguistics. Their MA in Linguistics has a Translation Studies concentration, so that would lend me to believe that you can do a translation-themed dissertation for their doctorate. Worldwide, the only straight up Translation Studies degree that I have ever found is the MA in TS at IGNOU (New Delhi, India), but no doctorate. Specifically in the USA, there is absolutely nothing of the sort. There might be something in UK or AUS at one of the Unis that have Applied Linguistics departments, but there is nothing specifically on Translation Studies that I have ever come across.
Heriot-Watt has a strong translations studies program, however, their PhD is not by DL. Centre for Translation & Interpreting Studies in Scotland (CTISS) | Management & Languages | Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh
