Dr Kristijan Nikolic


I have a university degree in English from Zagreb University, where I have worked since 2001. In 2012, I took a PhD in translation at the University of Vienna. I have been an Honorary Research Associate at the Centre for Translation Studies, University College London since 2016. I have given talks at various universities and conferences, and was the main organiser of the Media for All 5 conference. My main research interests are interlingual subtitling and audiovisual translators’ working conditions. At Westminster, I teach Audiovisual Translation and Localisation to MA students of translation.
