Introduction

 

The Post Graduate Diploma in Literary Translation will train translators to bring new works from Indian languages to English readers worldwide. This two-semester programme is delivered online with two additional offline sessions. The programme involves hands-on training in literary translation and courses on the production, circulation and reception of translation in India, as well as digital tools and design, production and marketing avenues for literary translations.
