Summer School

Since 2010, the MA Literary Translation has been organizing the annual Summer School for Literary Translation. In workshops, lectures and readings, participants are able to gain insight into the theory and practice of literary translation: The conference also serves to build bridges between the university and a wider audience. The Summer School is open to all who are interested: self-employed translators, students of literature and linguistics, as well as those who have a general  interest in literary translation.

Our students are able to earn a BN for one of the four translation modules for one participation in the Summer School.
