Program overview
German Interpretation is a specialization under the Master of Translation and Interpreting (MTI) program. It trains you to quickly and accurately convert information between Chinese and German, especially in settings like conferences, negotiations, and business meetings. Core courses include consecutive interpreting, simultaneous interpreting, sight translation, German speech and debate, and cross-cultural communication. Chinese universities have unique advantages in this field—for example, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University, and Tongji University have long-term partnerships with German universities and companies, offering real international conference simulations and internship opportunities. This program suits students who are linguistically sensitive, quick-thinking, enjoy challenges, and are interested in both Chinese and German cultures. If you love watching German news and analyzing differences in expression between languages, you'll thrive here.
