on-line program Aug 31, 2003

Hi.

NYU is starting a practical on-line Masters in into English translation. You need two source languages and English is the target.

I'm not sure if classes start this Fall.

I suggest writing to Head of SCPS Foreign Languages for more info: Milena Savova, [email protected]

Links to UK universities Sep 3, 2003

Here are a few links to these types of course. I have personally done my MA translation in the University of Surrey, and I thought it was really pracitcal. Not sure they do distance learning but it might be worth asking.
Hope this helps!
