The increasing dominance of China in the economic, political, military and technological arenas sees a growing demand for translation between Chinese and English, which would facilitate the flow of first-hand information and knowledge. To address society’s pressing need for grooming talents in translating Chinese into other languages, Lingnan University is launching the Master of Arts in Translation Studies programme, with a focus on the Chinese-English direction, this September.

The Master of Arts in Translation Studies programme is the only master’s programme in Hong Kong with a special focus on Chinese-English translation. It is tailored for those who are proficient in Chinese and English and interested in the study of translation practice and translation research. The Programme will feature small-class teaching to ensure substantial interaction between students and instructors. The Programme will also offer one-to-one supervision for dissertation, which will help in training students’ independent research capabilities, and enable in-depth research discussion with supervisors. The Programme can be taken as either a one-year full-time programme or a two-year part-time programme. Students must complete 30 units of courses to graduate.
