Each year between twenty and thirty students are admitted to the TRANSLATION RESEARCH SUMMER SCHOOL in the UK. Most are research students in the early stages of their projects, but some are experienced staff who want to go into translation and intercultural studies or who want to refresh their research skills.

Each year TRSS UK invites a high-profile researcher to deliver a public lecture and conduct a seminar with TRSS students. Invited speakers have been Ian Mason (2002), Maria Tymoczko (2003), Eva Hung (2003), Stuart Campbell (2005), Ebru Diriker (2006) and Lawrence Venuti (2007).

The UK 2008 invited speaker was Dr. Paul F. Bandia.

All UK and Hong Kong TRSS students and alumni have access to an online course containing a range of self-access study materials and resources, and to the TRSS Intranet.
