Historical Overview

The Advanced School of Translators and Interpreters (ASTI), which is currently part of the University of Buea, Cameroon, was set up by presidential order in August 1985 to the effect of fulfilling national needs in translators and interpreters, with particular attention to the public service. The first batch of translation students effectively commenced training during the 1985/1986 academic year. Since inception, training in translation has sustainably been a two-year postgraduate programme, which admits holders of at least a first degree in any discipline; the School therefore recorded its very first translation graduates in 1987. The one-year programme in interpretation, which has since its inception opened exclusively to holders of a profesionnal diploma in translation, was subsequently introduced in 1988, and the first batch of trainees graduated in 1989
