Applications open on September 1, 2026 for the next intake of the MADES at Lingnan University.

If you are looking for a degree that deepens your analytical skills while giving you practical digital fluency, this could be the start of a journey toward a more meaningful and fulfilling career.

This programme is designed for students who want to bridge English language expertise with digital technology—a combination that increasingly defines the future of work and communication. As Jensen Huang noted, English majors may well be among the most successful in the years ahead.

Latest sharing from Prof. WANG Binhua (Professor, Department of Translation, Head of the Centre for English and Additional Languages) regarding translation in different professional fields and the usage of AI tools on MingPao.

【AI年代】

詳細報道：https://link.mingpao.com/88067.htm

歐洲語言理事會的AI專家組成員、嶺大翻譯系教授王斌華認為，現時各AI大型語言模型（LLM）已能生成「語法正確、行文流暢，且可讀性較高」的譯文，語言間的切換效率大大提升，但不意味無錯誤，反之「錯誤的隱蔽度更高」，非翻譯專業者難以察覺。他引用美國學者的理論指出，「字面意思」只是冰山在水面露出的「一角」，翻譯本質並非簡單的「語言轉換」，而是跨語言、跨文化的溝通交際。他認為在AI翻譯普及下，大眾認識AI的使用方法、AI翻譯原理並思考當中的倫理問題，變得更重要。

We warmly welcome Professor ERNI to Lingnan and look forward to the vision and energy he will bring to the Faculty of Arts in the years ahead.

According to Prof. Wang Binhua, Large Language Models still face the challenge of the ‘black box’, meaning that the mechanisms through which they produce particular translations remain difficult to explain. 🤖❓

Unlike professional interpreters, who work within established professional ethical standards and are accountable, AI systems generate translations by identifying patterns in large volumes of language data and do not possess an intrinsic ethical framework. In translation tasks that require careful attention to cultural meaning and contextual understanding, human interpreters remain indispensable in making informed judgements about interpersonal relationships, rhetorical choices, and cultural expression. 🧠💡

AI翻譯較難掌握語境及文化修辭 仍難取代專業人類傳譯 🗣️✨

王斌華教授近日發表於《自然》旗下《人文與社會科學通訊》期刊的合作研究顯示，AI的大型語言模型仍存在「黑盒」（black-box）問題，其運作機制及如何形成特定翻譯結果至今仍難以完全解釋。🤖❓

與受專業倫理規範的人類譯員不同，AI主要依賴大量數據中的語言模式生成譯文，本身並沒有內在的邏輯和倫理框架。因此，在涉及文化內涵及需要仔細掌握語境的翻譯工作下，人類譯員在人際關係、語氣及文化修辭等方面作出更切合語境的判斷，反映其專業判斷仍然不可或缺。🧠💡

【🌟Student’s Sharing: 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬】

From June to July, 3 Arts students in the Postgraduate Programmes participated in the Postgraduate Summer School 2026, organized by the School of Graduate Studies (GS and co‑hosted with Hertford College, University of Oxford, UK✨

We are thrilled to hear about the inspiring international explorations experienced on this journey.

Let’s check out the students’ sharing below! 👇

“During the study tour, standing before Van Gogh's original work at the National Gallery 🎨, I felt the process of painting in a way no catalogue could convey. These gains have quietly changed how I see the world and will keep shaping every choice I make ahead.”🖼️

「實地考察時在國家美術館站在梵高真跡前，看著筆觸在畫布上起伏，感受到圖冊裡感受不到的繪畫過程🎨。這些收穫已悄悄改變了我看世界的方式，也會在往後的每一個選擇裡繼續發揮作用。」🖼️

---------------------------------
“Here, cutting-edge interdisciplinary courses on topics such as artificial intelligence, climate change and business management continually stimulated my innovative thinking. 🤖🌱 We also presented our research posters in a conference-style setting, receiving valuable feedback from international faculty and students. ”💡

「在這裡，人工智能、氣候變化及企業管理等跨學科前沿課程，不斷激發著我的創新思維。🤖🌱我們還以學術會議的形式展示研究海報，收穫了來自國際師生的寶貴反饋。」💡

【Discuss Society and Life, Experience University-Style Discussions 🎬｜"Light & Shadow · Growth Dialogue" Film Screening Highlights】

Our recent film screening event has successfully wrapped up! Students and parents were fully immersed as they watched the award-winning film The Way We Talk 🎥.

But the real magic started after the credits rolled ✨! Our Lingnan professors and the film’s production team hosted a mini-salon 💬, from mainstream culture to social concerns, and from film promotion to behind the scenes. During the discussion, the audience also actively raised questions, offering alternative perspectives that enriched the meaning of the film. 💡

This event was far more than just a movie screening — it was a meaningful experience connecting people through cinema and dialogue. Let’s connect, reflect, and grow 🤗 !

【探索社會與人生，體驗大學式討論🎬｜「光影・成長對話」電影放映精彩回顧】

嶺大剛舉辦嘅電影放映活動已經圓滿結束！🍿

學生與家長都全程投入，一齊觀賞得獎電影《看我今天怎麼說》🎥

放映過後，嶺大教授同電影製作團隊更親臨現場主持「微沙龍討論」💬。由主流文化講到社會關懷，再深入交流電影背後嘅製作理念，內容非常豐富！現場觀眾反應熱烈，多角度嘅提問同交流，更為呢套電影加咗更深層次嘅思考！

今次活動唔單止係睇一套好電影，更係一次用光影連結彼此、用對話啟發成長嘅難得體驗。多謝當日嚟支持嘅每一位，期待下一次再用光影同大家連結✨!

Organized by the Registry, Faculty of Arts members participated in the Education Expo on 3 July, delivering a series of engaging taster lectures for secondary students from the Tai Po district.

Highlighting the signature characteristics of our undergraduate programmes, Prof. Daren Leung (Department of Cultural Studies), Prof. Bianca Cheung (Department of History), Prof. Chiu Wai Wai (Department of Philosophy), and Dr. Chan Wai Chung (Department of Chinese) shared insights into the unique liberal arts learning experience at Lingnan. We sincerely look forward to welcoming these prospective students to our campus community in the future!
