Required Materials
The postgraduate Literary Translation courses at Trinity College Dublin offers a dynamic blend of practice and theory, based at the Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation — Ireland’s leading hub for the subject. The word “literary” may suggest novels and poetry, but we take a broader view. As a student on this course, you will develop your skills as a translator across a wide range of genres and media, from novels and poetry to comics, video games, song lyrics, and subtitles, while also gaining a strong grounding in translation history, theory, and professional practice. Studying in the centre of multilingual, literary Dublin, you will work alongside practising translators, editors, and publishers, and build networks that support both creative and academic futures in translation. This intensive programme helps you develop your own voice as a translator. You’ll build a personalised portfolio of literary translations, gain hands-on experience through team projects, and become confident in using the latest translation tools. Whether your goal is a career in translation or further research, Trinity’s Literary Translation courses offer the skills, insight, and community to support your next steps. Is This Course For Me? If you are passionate about language, literature, and creativity, the postgraduate courses in Literary Translation at Trinity are designed for you. Many of our students join us from modern languages or related humanities disciplines. Others come from different areas of expertise. Many join our courses straight after their undergraduate degrees. Others come after some time working or even after retirement. Our students come to us from all around the world. Many come from Europe. But we are also regularly joined by students from North and South America and Asia. From September 2026, we are able to accept students with any language pair(s), as long as they also have an excellent command of English. You do not need to have studied your languages in the same institution or country. What matters is a proven high-level competence in both languages and a strong interest in literary and creative translation. We recommend a level that corresponds roughly to at least CEFR level C1 for each of your working languages. The programme will particularly suit you if you: want to develop your own voice as a literary translator, working across a range of genres and media. are considering a professional future in literary or cultural translation, editing, or publishing. are already working as a translator or language professional and wish to extend your practice into more creative domains. are planning to pursue further research (for example, a PhD) in translation studies or a related field. are looking for an international, multilingual cohort and the opportunity to build networks in Dublin’s literary and cultural scene.
