This year marks the 10th anniversary since the MTI (Master of Translation and Interpreting) education was established in China to meet the demands of the translation industry and the need for an authentication system for translators.

Guangdong University of Foreign Studies tops the list with five stars, followed by Shanghai International Studies University and Beijing Language and Culture University.

Wang Jihui, director of the MTI Education Center of Peking University, said the list was released to promote the education quality of China’s MIT and foster more translation and interpretation talents.

Cui Qiliang, vice-director of the UIBE’s Center for International Language Service and Management, analyzed the status quo of MTI education in China, citing responses from teaching staff and employers.

Zhong Weihe, an expert on translation and interpretation, talked about the supply-side structural reform of MIT and language services for enterprises involved in the Belt and Road Initiative.

The summit forum attracted famous foreign experts and translators, including Professor Wolfgang Kubin, a world famous sinologist of Bonn University in Germany.
