Would be most grateful for sharing any experience, advice etc.

Hi Yulia,

I am a current student of the Bristol MA Translation distance learning programme and would highly recommend it. In relation to your question about 'hands-on' vs theory, there is only one compulsory module about translation theory and the rest are more practical modules, such as Applied Translation, Specialised Translation (e.g. literary, audiovisual etc), CAT tools and Subtitling so you get a lot of practice actually translating and getting feedback from other students and the tutors.

If you have any more questions just let me know!
