Eligibility

The Summer School is open to suitably qualified students from across the world.

Candidates should normally hold the degree of Master of Arts or equivalent in a relevant subject, typically (but not necessarily) a humanities subject involving crosscultural studies; they should be proficient in English and should either have started or be actively considering research in translation and/or intercultural studies.

The term ‘translation studies’ covers all branches of the scholarly study of translation and interpreting. ‘Intercultural studies’ covers any form of communication across cultural boundaries.
