The PhD in Translation Studies at the University of Strathclyde invites you to position your research within a dynamic, interdisciplinary field that examines the theoretical, methodological, applied, and creative aspects of translation across diverse modes and practices. You will explore how translation shapes human interactions in personal, cultural, socioeconomic, and technological contexts, contributing to a deeper understanding of its multifaceted impacts. This programme is ideal for students eager to push the boundaries of translation studies, investigate new avenues of inquiry, and forge outward-facing connections with external stakeholders.
This full-time, on-campus PhD, typically completed over three years, offers a flexible research journey. You will be supported by a primary supervisor from Translation Studies and a second supervisor from either Translation Studies or the Department of Humanities, aligning with your project’s interdisciplinary scope and language pairings. You can choose a traditional research format or a practice-based thesis, comprising a professional-level translation and critical commentary. You will graduate with advanced research skills and a significant contribution to the field of translation studies.
