You'll familiarise yourself with different types of audiovisual texts and will look at the respective approaches used to translate these within the framework of interlingual subtitling.
This course is run by CenTraS - Centre for Translation Studies at UCL.
Who this course is for
The course is open to freelance translators, and undergraduate or postgraduate translation students.
