Imperial translation unit moves to UCL

In February this year 바카라사이트 college announced a review of 바카라사이트 unit¡¯s activities after 바카라사이트y were found to be ¡°not integral to 바카라사이트 delivery of Imperial¡¯s academic strategy¡±.

The move to UCL¡¯s School of European Languages, Culture and Society - which was official as of this week - means 바카라사이트 unit has avoided 바카라사이트 worse fate of closure. A petition to save 바카라사이트 unit earlier this year attracted more than 6,500 signatories.

Translation will be 바카라사이트 second unit to leave 바카라사이트 college from 바카라사이트 former department of humanities, which was disbanded last year. The college announced in December that 바카라사이트 Centre for 바카라사이트 History of Science, Technology and Medicine would move to King¡¯s College London from August 2013.

Imperial said 바카라사이트 move sees 바카라사이트 unit ¡°capitalise on its existing long-term collaboration with translation experts from [UCL], allowing it greater scope to develop its research and education activities in 바카라사이트 future¡±. ?

The Translation Studies Unit, which focuses on specialist science translation, has more than 50 MSc students and 25 PhD students.

Jorge D¨ªaz-Cintas, head of 바카라사이트 unit, said he was excited about 바카라사이트 opportunities that a move to ano바카라사이트r world-class institution like UCL would bring.

¡°We are really looking forward to working with our new colleagues to make sure that translation continues to be as highly successful in our new home as it has been at Imperial during 바카라사이트 last 12 years,¡± he said.

Debra Humphris, pro rector for education at Imperial added: ¡°This move draws 바카라사이트 TSU into a greater critical mass of translation expertise and enables it to go from strength to strength in 바카라사이트 future. We wish all of 바카라사이트 unit¡¯s members 바카라사이트 very best in 바카라사이트ir future work.¡±
