Ph.D. in linguistics Dec 17, 2015

My thesis was a study of how discourse-level features (specifically, theme and information) translate from one language (Portuguese) into another (English), based on a corpus of 36 published translations.

Other: a postgraduate diploma Dec 17, 2015

I have the Danish Special Language Diploma.

It is the equivalent of one year's work + a specialist subject, while the MA takes two years' work.
There is no MA thesis for the diploma, and it does not include interpreting, as the MA would.

The Dip. Trans. held by many translators is also a postgraduate diploma, but not actually a degree.

Not yet! Dec 17, 2015

I graduated in linguistic mediation and then attended a postgraduate course in specialised translation, but after 18 years spent on books I still want to take my MA, specifically in International relations (my childhood dreamjob was working for the UN - I was quite an ambitious child )... I just hope I will manage to get it!

MA Dec 17, 2015

I pursued a MA in Audiovisual Translation in an online masters program with the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, back in 2006-2009. Don't be deceived by the lengthy period: I finished my coursework within 18 months, but I needed time to write my thesis. I'm still friends and in touch with my thesis advisor, who volunteered to supervise my thesis due to the unusual topic.

I have a healthy degree of envy towards those of you who hold degrees in other areas, like civil engineering,

I pursued a MA in Audiovisual Translation in an online masters program with the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, back in 2006-2009. Don't be deceived by the lengthy period: I finished my coursework within 18 months, but I needed time to write my thesis. I'm still friends and in touch with my thesis advisor, who volunteered to supervise my thesis due to the unusual topic.

I have a healthy degree of envy towards those of you who hold degrees in other areas, like civil engineering, architecture or chemistry. Human life is too short and there is so much to learn.

I was born curious.
