As a whole, the Applied Translation Studies programme at Beijing Normal University – Hong Kong Baptist University United International College is designed to train bilingual practitioners in the fields of translation and interpreting in order to meet market demands in China. It is teaching- and student-oriented and aims to offer a unique learning experience in translation and interpreting.

Teaching Methods and Medium of Instruction

In view of the inter-disciplinary nature of Translation and Interpreting Studies, the programme employs a wide range of teaching methods to ensure the quality of teaching as being first-class as well as teaching- and student-oriented. Teaching will be conducted by a combination of lectures, tutorial discussions, seminars, guest lectures, assignments, individual and group presentations, quizzes, peer comments, and self-reflective journals. Students will be given plenty of exercises for translation practice and analysis, both in and out of classroom. Some courses require end-of-semester examinations. For courses of a practical nature (e.g. TRA 2010 & TRA 2020 General Translation I and II), continuous assessment in the form of in and out of class assignments and/or quizzes will be used to supplement formal examinations. Continuous assessment will normally carry a heavier weighting than a formal examination for the General Translation courses.

It is agreed that students’ autonomy, initiative, capacity for adaptation and a strong sense of responsibility are essential to achieving good learning outcomes. Efforts are constantly made on the part of faculty members to improve their teaching skills and learning strategies for students. Details concerning the specific means of teaching methods are fully explained for each course in the attached syllabi.

The medium of instruction will be in English while teaching materials will both be in Putonghua/Chinese and English for C-E and E-C translation/interpreting.

"My name is Alea and I am a degree-seeking student from the USA. I chose UIC for the opportunity it presented to study Chinese language and culture. Thus far, UIC has been a very beneficial and memorable experience. I have made several great friends and love my Chinese roommate who has been very supportive in helping me adjust to life as a UICer. I enjoyed several of my classes and met faculty and students from around the globe. UIC has really given me a unique perspective and, as a foreigner studying in China, has opened my eyes to the numerous possibilities that an opportunity such as this presents."
