Summary	The course consists of 10 hours of face-to-face contact (tutor-led class time) and another 10 hours of directed independent study. Students will be supervised in practical translation exercises. Selection of texts is decided by mutual agreement between the student and the translation tutor. The following languages are currently available for the practical translation component: Arabic, Chinese, Danish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. There is also a 'Hispanic Languages' option (which includes Spanish, and may, subject to availability, include Portuguese and/or Catalan). The students are advised to contact in advance for the availability of the particular language combinations in any given year. The direction of translation for the practical translation exercises is at the discretion of the practical translation tutor. The most common practice is to receive training in translation into English, but in some cases both directions, i.e. from and into English, are available.
