Master of Arts - Western Marxism and Translation

MA Western Marxism and Translation will equip students both with important subject knowledge in Western Marxism and translation skills from English into their mother tongue. Students will study at a world-leading centre for Western Marxism, with modules focused on the Frankfurt School, and Western Marxist critiques of capitalism. Students will also benefit from the excellent translation modules and expertise available at Essex.

To cap off their studies, students will – with the help of individual supervision by both a subject expert and a translation expert – translate a not-yet-translated source from Western Marxism and write a scholarly commentary on it. This will place students in an excellent position to pursue an academic career (or another career in research or teaching). Apart from PhD, Graduates have also gone into careers in law, the media, local administration, HM Revenue and Customs, and top jobs in the Civil Service.
