Do you hold an undergraduate degree in any discipline, whether related to translation or not? Do you have advanced writing skills in English and an additional language? Have you ever wondered about the role translation plays in almost every aspect of communication and the movement of knowledge across cultures and borders?

The Master in Translation Studies (MATS) at 91亚色鈥檚 Glendon campus gives you an opportunity to explore translation as a meaningful social, political and cultural activity. This program focuses on the theoretical aspects of translation as a practice, process, product, and activity. While it includes a few practice-oriented courses where students focus on translating texts, the program primarily aims to explore how research can enhance our understanding of translation as an inter- and cross-cultural practice.

Glendon鈥檚 Master in Translation Studies is the only such program in Canada that doesn鈥檛 require applicants to be proficient in both English and French. The program is open to applicants who have either English or French and another language. This means that you could be learning with and from others who have working languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Italian, Spanish, Urdu, etc. and bring experiences from a host of other contexts and cultures.

Our student body is richly diverse, encompassing a wide range of linguistic and cultural backgrounds. By examining languages and cultures through the lens of translation theories, our class discussions are always engaging and thought-provoking. The program fosters a close-knit and supportive community, where students and faculty collaborate closely. Our dedicated faculty members are actively involved in organizing and participating in numerous research-focused activities throughout the year, such as lectures, workshops, and networking events. In addition, our students take the initiative in organizing an annual graduate conference. They also engage in various events hosted by the Centre for Research on Language and Culture Contact.

Faculty and students from MATS program.

Courses in the MATS combine theoretical knowledge with practical application. On the translation practice side, the program offers courses such as Literary Translation, Audiovisual Translation and Subtitling, Translation and Tourism, and Medical Translation. The more theoretical courses include Translation Studies and Research Methods; others focus on topics such as Experiences of Translation in the Americas, Balzac Translated-Translating Balzac, Politics and Translation, Ideology and Translation, Translation and Ethics, Translation and Mobility, and Translation and Digital Technologies, to name but a few.

The Master in Translation Studies can be completed in two years and offers three options: courses only, courses plus a Major Research Paper, or courses plus a thesis. The program is designed to serve full-time students as well as professionals who wish to obtain a graduate degree in Translation Studies while continuing to work. As such, all courses are scheduled in the evening, and some are offered online.

The MATS is a funded program. Once admitted, most eligible full-time domestic students receive a guaranteed funding package for the duration of the program. Note:聽No funding is available for international students.

The disruption resulting from CUPE 3903 strike has ended. The full announcement can be found on the Senate Executive website. The remediation period for the Winter term begins on Monday, April 22 and will last for five weeks until Sunday, May 26. This includes four weeks of classes/assessments, and a week for final exams (if applicable). Since many graduate courses do not have a final exam, the exam period can be used to support additional coursework. Please speak to your instructor about how the remediation period will be used for your course so you understand what is required and when.

The first summer term (S1) will start as normally scheduled on Monday, May 6 to Monday, June 17, with exams between Wednesday, June 19 to Friday, June 21.

The second summer term (S2) is delayed to Tuesday, July 2 to Wednesday, August 14. The exam period for this term will take place on Friday, August 16 to Friday, August 23. The list of course offerings for the S2 session will be available on the 91亚色 Courses website in the coming weeks. Students will be notified when the updated offerings become available.

If you are unable to complete in-person course requirements you are encouraged to work collaboratively with your individual course directors to make appropriate/reasonable arrangements for the course completion virtually rather than in-person. If you are unable to make appropriate arrangements with your course director, please immediately bring the matter to your graduate program director. And, failing that, to the Associate Dean of Student Affairs by email at fgsadst@yorku.ca.

We recognize submitting coursework and meeting established academic timelines during the remediation period may not be possible under individual circumstances. If that is the case for you, we encourage you to work collaboratively with your individual course director(s) to establish new deadlines, using the FGS course transaction form. If they are not available, or an agreement cannot be reached, you should reach out to your graduate program director. If this can鈥檛 be resolved at the program level, please connect with our Associate Dean of Students by email at fgsadst@yorku.ca. We encourage students to speak to their supervisor, faculty advisor, or graduate program director about their plans for completing coursework, before taking this option.

As a one-time only option, you can petition to drop Winter 2024 or Fall/Winter 23-24 (Y) courses without receiving a W (withdrawal) on your transcript. These petitions will be administratively approved and will require no documentation, provided they are submitted by December 31, 2024 鈥 no exceptions will be made to this deadline.

There is a separate process for these petitions. Guidelines for submitting 2024 Strike-Related Petitions can be accessed on our Petitions webpage. We encourage students to speak to their supervisor, faculty advisor, or graduate program director about their academic plans before taking this option.

We recognize that the labour disruption may have impacted progress on degree milestones other than courses. If you are anxious about completing your degree requirements during their remaining semesters, as a one-time only option, you may wish to petition for a General LOA for Summer 2024. This will be administratively approved and will not require documentation. It will also not affect eligibility for other future leaves. This petition is only available during the remediation period (April 22 to May 26) and cannot be applied for retroactively. Students should speak to their supervisor and graduate program before making decisions on applying for the strike specific SU24 LOA petition. International students should also consult with on how any leave of absence may impact their status in Canada.

There is a separate process for these petitions. Guidelines for submitting 2024 Strike-Related Petitions can be accessed on our Petitions webpage on the FGS website. We encourage students to speak to their supervisor, faculty advisor, or graduate program director about their academic plans before taking this option.

Many graduate students are engaged in thesis or dissertation research or are preparing for degree milestones like comprehensive exams.  FGS-governed milestones timelines will not experience any adjustment. However, graduate programs may have adjusted some program specific milestone timings. We encourage you to reach out to your graduate program to confirm if there have been any timing adjustments. 

International students who are considering petitioning for a LOA for Summer 2024 are encouraged to speak with an International Student Advisor & Immigration Specialist at , as well as an academic advisor. Taking a leave of absence could have implications for your visa status, depending on individual circumstances. 

If you need additional assistance, please consider utilizing one of our current students services or if you need support for your mental health and well-being, we recommend connecting with our wellness resources for graduate students.
