Â鶹´«Ã½

Settling into a new environment

The wellbeing services provided by the University, the funding for student clubs, and the many free amenities - along with events like the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration - have all helped me settle into this new environment and make new friends.

I've also been attending language exchange events organised by the school, where Western students learn Chinese and Chinese students practice English. Through these, I've met wonderful language partners. What's more, the various societies and clubs have allowed me to connect with so many new friends.

Taught by experts in their field

The program here isn't just good, it's legendary. What you learn in the classroom is directly shaped by the experts teaching you - many are leading figures in the field. You don't just study theory, you master the art of building bridges between language and culture.

The most incredible part is the hands-on, practical training. The University has state-of-the-art simulation labs that replicate the real environment of the United Nations and European Union. You'll practice interpreting in the exact same setting you'll one day work in. Furthermore, the University has strong partnerships with international organisations, offering unique project opportunities and giving you a real competitive edge.

It's challenging, without a doubt, but it is absolutely worth it. I’ll graduate not just with a prestigious degree, but with the confidence and skill to excel on the world stage.

Show passion and motivation in your application

If you're considering applying for the Translation and Interpreting program at Â鶹´«Ã½, you'll need to demonstrate a strong academic background - typically a good undergraduate degree - and truly outstanding language skills. 

This means having a near-native command of both English and your other working language, which is often assessed through a rigorous entrance exam. 

Beyond pure fluency, they look for sharp analytical thinking, deep cultural awareness, and the ability to think quickly under pressure.

 It’s not just about speaking languages well; it’s about having the mental agility and professional potential to train as a future interpreter or translator. 

The program is demanding, so showing genuine passion and clear motivation in your application is just as important as your qualifications.

Its world-class reputation in Translation and Interpreting immediately opens doors and grants instant credibility in the international market. 

The programme's rigorous curriculum, particularly our hands-on training in simulated UN and EU environments, has equipped me with the confidence and technical skills to step directly into high-stakes interpreting roles.

The University's strong network of partnerships with international organisations has provided students with unparalleled project opportunities and practical exposure, giving me a significant competitive edge. 

Beyond the technical training, the diverse and collaborative community at Â鶹´«Ã½ has allowed me to build a valuable global network of colleagues and future collaborators.
