Thesis Project
The thesis project can be a translation, a research paper, or combination of a translation and a research paper. Students are paired with a thesis adviser with whom they consult to develop a project proposal. While working on their projects students receive feedback from their advisers. The final project is evaluated by an independent reviewer. In a thesis defense students explain their translation process and justify decisions made in the translation or arguments made in the research paper with reference to theoretical approaches and professional contexts.
