Course structure
This degree is available by coursework only and consists of parts I and
II. The course of study leading to the MA in Japanese business interpreting and
translation is a tightly structured program. In the first year (MA part I) all
students must take the following four subjects:
JBC4611 Introduction to Japanese business communication (8 points)
- JBC4832 Translation of Japanese business documents (6 points)
- JIT4622 Introduction to Japanese business interpreting (6 points)
- JIT4811 Theories and practice of Japanese language translation (4
points)
The remaining twenty-four points may be taken from any of the other
fourth-year level subjects offered by the department to make a total of
forty-eight points in the MA part I.
The second year (MA part II) consists of the following subjects which all
students must take:
JBC5622 Japanese companies overseas (6 points)
JBC5830 Administrative and business Japanese (6 points)
- JIT5731 Theories and practice of Japanese interpreting (12 points)
- JIT5842 Advanced Japanese interpreting (8 points)
- JIT5806 Advanced Japanese translation (8 points)
The remaining eight
points must consist of project work. Students will usually be required to do
one of the following subjects for eight points:
- JIT5940 Project in Japanese interpreting and translation
- JBC5841 Survey of Japanese business communication practices
- JBC5930 Research project in Japanese business communication or
- JBC5940 Internship in Japanese business communication.
The choice of
these options in any given year will depend upon the availability of staff. It
is not planned that every option will be available every year. However, all of
the subjects allow students to pursue a wide range of interests so that
students can do a project related to their career goals. In lieu of one of the
above projects, students may, with the approval of the program coordinator,
choose to do one or more electives either inside or outside the department up
to twelve points.
