Program overview
The Japanese Interpretation program is a direction under the Master of Translation and Interpreting (MTI), focusing on training you to efficiently and accurately interpret between Japanese and Chinese. Core courses include consecutive interpretation, simultaneous interpretation, sight translation, and interpretation note-taking, supplemented by courses on Sino-Japanese cultural comparison, business negotiation, and diplomatic etiquette. Chinese universities have unique advantages in this field: many have cooperative programs with Japanese universities, providing real-world practice opportunities at international conferences and business negotiations. Moreover, China has a large number of Japanese-funded enterprises and Sino-Japanese cooperation projects, allowing you to engage directly with real scenarios during internships. This program suits students with a solid foundation in Japanese, quick reflexes, a love for challenges, and a passion for cross-cultural communication. If you already have N1 or equivalent proficiency, this major can transform your language skills into career competitiveness.
