CHIN 7014B - MA(ITTC) Thesis - Advanced Part 2

This course (CHIN 7014B Pt 2 ) continues from CHIN 7014A Part 1. It is a compulsory component for the Master of Arts (Interpreting, Translation and Transcultural Communication) Program, and should be undertaken in the final year of study. The course (CHIN 7014A & CHIN 7014B) is studied across two consecutive Semesters and is for those students who wish to proceed to a PhD in the Faculty. Students should consult the Program Convenor In the first instance for possible topics of research. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the Department of Asian Studies, students are encouraged to explore the broad range of academic field expertise the Department and the Faculty has to offer, namely Applied Linguistics, Literature, Translation, as well as Cultural Studies, Transcultural Communication, History, Politics and International Studies, and Sociology. In this final Part 2 of the MA(ITTC) Thesis - Advanced course (CHIN 7014B), students will work on their research thesis under the supervision of academic staff in the Department of Asian studies or the Faculty of Arts. The final thesis will be 14,000 – 16,000 English words in length (including footnotes but excluding the bibliography).
