Programme Overview

Successful translation of audiovisual content requires skillful translators with in-depth knowledge of language, technology, and culture. The programme aims to provide high-quality training in audiovisual translation. Our MA students will master all types of translation at a high level and engage with a broad range of practical material in such areas as culture, art, economics and politics. MA students study two foreign languages at an advanced level (English and FL2), as well as specialized disciplines, which enables them to perform audiovisual translation of any complexity in pairs of languages "Russian - FL1" and "Russian – FL2".

The demand for audiovisual translators is here to stay, as companies around the world continue to recognise the immense value of adapting their content into multiple languages if they are to extend their global reach.
