I am starting an MA Bilingual Translation at the University of Westminster on October but I am not sure which optional modules to take. If it was up to me I will take them all but that's not posible so I was wondering if any of you who had study there could give me your advise.

Initially I was thinking of choosing Subtitling and CAT

Thanks

I would like to take MA in Translation and Interpreting there too next year! Aug 21, 2009

All the modules there are really interesting and worth taking, I suggest editing and translation theory. Editing is really helpful in future career and translation theory is helpful in your thesis or project at the end.
