Arts in Chinese Translation and Interpreting

University of Queensland

About

Arts in Chinese Translation and Interpreting is a suite of programs including a Graduate Certificate and Masters qualification, designed to develop students' practical techniques and skills of translation between English and Chinese and interpreting between English and Mandarin.

It seeks to help them obtain an understanding of theories and professional aspects of translation and interpreting and to apply them in translation and interpreting practice.

Emphasis will be placed on professional translation and interpreting.

This program is endorsed by NAATI to train Certified Translators and Interpreters.

Students will be trained in different areas including society, law, health, business and trade, science and technology, politics and international relations, and will be expected to satisfactorily perform as professionals in related translation and interpreting situations.

There are limited places available each semester and entry into the program is very competitive.

Early applications are strongly encouraged.

Structure

Apart from translation and interpreting techniques and skills, students are expected to learn theories that underpin translation and interpreting practice, develop a solid understanding of the code of ethics in translation and interpreting, and acquire cultural and social knowledge relevant to the countries where English and Chinese are spoken. This program is not a language program as such, but a specialised program in training in translation and interpreting skills and related content areas, taught upon a basis of bilingualism which students bring with them to the program.
