Earn your Masters Degree in English Literature & Linguistics

It is the goal of this program to train a new generation of literary translators who will help bring world literature in a variety of languages to the English language and the English reading public. For this task, Bar Ilan University is uniquely qualified, with an English Department that offers the advanced study of literature and literary traditions, creative writing in several genres, and hands-on work in literary translation.

All students will receive a full year of one-on-one mentoring with a faculty member for the purpose of completing a creative thesis: the translation of a manuscript (or partial manuscript) in poetry, fiction or creative nonfiction.
