Research is a primary activity for doctoral students in the Department of Interpretation and Translation. Throughout their course of study, these emerging scholars discuss research papers in seminar courses, engage in research internships, write research proposals, and conduct their own research projects.
These experiences with inquiry and investigation culminate into the creation of an original research project for their dissertation studies.
