The School of Translators and Interpreters of Beirut (ETIB) in collaboration with the Confucius Institute at Saint Joseph University of Beirut (CIUSJ) and Shenyang Normal University aim to ensure the training of high-level translators capable of mastering intercultural communication competency and handling the translation of different types of texts in Arabic, English and Chinese language combinations. The University Diploma in Chinese Civilization and Translation is designed to cater for Arabic-EnglishChinese translation needs in the professional arena. China has become a major player in the global economy and has gained a considerable geopolitical position, thus increasing the demand for translators fluent in Chinese language.
