Our activities
The Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies provides an excellent environment for research.
Research training
Specialists from the University of Manchester, UCL, University of Edinburgh and Hong Kong Baptist University collaborate to offer an annual Translation Research Summer School, a two-week course offering intensive research training in translation and intercultural studies for prospective researchers in the field. TRSS UK 2011 Summer School takes place from 27 June to 8 July 2011 in Manchester.
Research seminars
CTIS organises a series of weekly seminars which attract a large national audience of researchers, students and professional translators. The CTIS seminar series forms an important part of initiation into the world of scholarly research and offers our students a valuable opportunity for informal contact with leading academics and practitioners.
