Previously, some students reported that they did not dare to apply for a master's degree in translation because their grades in CET-4, CET-6, CET-4, and CET-8 were average. In fact, CET-4 and CET-6 are not directly related to the postgraduate English exam. The MTI exam is also not the same type as other types of exams and does not belong to the same exam system.

Employment prospects for a Master of Translation and Interpretation:

1. Translation and publishing industries

The most suitable industries after graduating with a Master of Translation and Interpretation are the translation and publishing industries. Every year, major translation companies, publishing houses, and publishing organizations need a large number of full-time translators to engage in translation work. Graduates who like to do translation can choose this type of job. In addition to daily translation, this type of work also involves proofreading and overall translation management.

In addition, there are currently many professional translation companies that need a large number of full-time and part-time personnel for conference interpretation and business interpretation, and the interpreters are well paid.

2. State agencies and state-owned large and medium-sized enterprises

National, provincial and municipal agencies and units recruit civil servants, and state-owned large and medium-sized enterprises will have special foreign affairs translator positions when recruiting new employees. This type of position has high professional requirements and is aimed at students who have graduated from translation majors. To take a step back, even if there are no professional restrictions, graduates who have received translation professional training are more competitive and advantageous than graduates of other majors.

3. Foreign-funded enterprises or Sino-foreign joint ventures

Translation graduates have a unique advantage in entering foreign companies or Sino-foreign joint ventures, because foreign companies or Sino-foreign joint ventures have very high requirements for English proficiency. And the working language is English, so translation graduates can enter foreign companies to work in many non-technical positions such as marketing, public relations, human resources, and sales.
