Hong Kong's externally-oriented economy is greatly influenced by the continuously changing global developments. As a cosmopolitan city as well as part of China, Hong Kong needs to have effective communication and business exchanges with the globalised world markets. Bi-literacy and tri-lingualism should be strongly promoted in Hong Kong. Hong Kong people should not be fluent solely in Cantonese, but should also be competent in both English and Putonghua at a relatively high standard.
The Higher Diploma Programme in Applied Translation Studies. The programme sets its focuses on the practical use of Chinese and English in their written and spoken forms, and a solid mastery of translation techniques.
