我们的笔译和口译研究是一项特别的优势，该研究基于国际公认的苏格兰笔译和口译研究中心（CTISS）。该中心重点研究在多语言环境中语言在社会上的专业使用。它的目的包括调查翻译/口译过程的性质以及建立社会交流，传播研究成果以及提高对与该专业有关的问题的认识以及对口译和笔译人员的培训。CTISS汇集了我们翻译研究，跨学科社会传播研究和话语语言学等核心领域的员工和研究生研究。相信对语篇策略（体裁，语篇，文本）的理解是翻译和口译所涉及的语篇过程的中心，这是CTISS中许多工作的统一主题。
A particular strength is our translation and interpreting research, which is based in the internationally recognised Centre for Translation and Interpreting Studies in Scotland (CTISS). The Centre provides a focus for research into the socio-professional use of language in multilingual environments. Its aims include investigation of the nature of the process of translating/interpreting and the construction of social communication, dissemination of research and the promotion of awareness of issues relating to the profession and to the training of interpreters and translators. The CTISS brings together staff and postgraduate research in our core areas of translation studies, interdisciplinary social communication studies and discourse linguistics. A belief that understanding of textual strategies (genres, discourses, texts) is central to the discourse processes involved in translating and interpreting is a unifying theme of much of the work done in CTISS.
