Graduate Diploma in Translation - English, French and Spanish Options

The Diploma Program is divided into three major constituent parts. The first part consists of the required courses; the second of the complementary courses; and the third of the comprehensive evaluation through the presentation of a student portfolio.

Students must successfully complete six required courses. In addition to the required courses, Diploma candidates must choose four complementary courses. Students in the Spanish option must take a minimum of three complementary courses from the Spanish language section. Students with proficient knowledge of a third language may take one course (three credits) from the list of third language courses in translation offered in the Certificate Program. However, students in the Spanish option of the Diploma Program do not qualify to take the Spanish courses in the Certificate in Translation program for credit.

Upon completion of the academic program, students will present a comprehensive portfolio of their accomplishments for evaluation. Under the guidance of an advisor, students will prepare for this purpose a "best work" portfolio of the courses taken throughout their program. Based on the information gathered over the duration of the program, students will explain their progress and place the relevance of each of their courses into perspective. The "best work" portfolio provides students with the opportunity to show work done in their third language.
