Department of Translation and Interpretation
The Department of Translation and Interpretation (DTI) was founded in 2007, taking advantage of the translation faculty resources from the former Department of English and Department of Applied English. In the following year, the undergraduate program of Translation and Interpretation started to recruit students. It boasts a history as long as that of the School of Foreign Languages and Literature (SFL) itself which can be traced back to 1930 when the first translation courses were set up. Renowned scholars such as Liang Shiqiu, Hong Shen, Wu Fuheng, and Huang Jiade engaged in teaching and research, laying a solid foundation for the development of the discipline. In 1978, SFL was authorized to confer Master's degree in Translation; in 2000, it was authorized to confer Ph.D. degree in Translation; in 2009, the Master of Translation and Interpretating (MTI) program was approved; in 2013, the undergraduate program was accredited as a provincial distinctive program in Shandong; in 2017, the program passed the examination and evaluation of undergraduate teaching by the Ministry of Education, and the discipline of Foreign Language and Literature, with which the program is affiliated, was rated as a national A-level discipline.
