Specialization introduction

Major introduction

Cultivate advanced Russian translation talents, making you a bridge for Sino-Russian communication, suitable for those who love language and cross-cultural communication.

Program overview

Russian translation is a direction under the Master of Translation and Interpreting, focusing on accurate and fluent conversion between Chinese and Russian. Core courses include translation theory, Chinese-Russian and Russian-Chinese translation techniques, literary translation, business translation, and scientific translation. You will also learn to use translation software (such as CAT tools) to improve efficiency. Many Chinese universities, such as Beijing Foreign Studies University and Shanghai International Studies University, have rich experience in Russian translation and cooperate with Russian universities, offering internship opportunities. This program is suitable for students with a solid Russian foundation (generally requiring a bachelor's degree in Russian or related fields), who enjoy delving into language details and are interested in both Chinese and Russian cultures. If you find the concept of "faithfulness, expressiveness, and elegance" fascinating or aspire to become a professional translator, this program will be a great fit.

Major prospects

现在中俄贸易、能源、科技合作越来越紧密,比如“一带一路”项目里很多文件需要翻译。中国公司去俄罗斯投资、俄罗斯企业来中国,都需要靠谱的笔译人才。另外,文化交流活动(电影节、书展、学术会议)也离不开翻译。虽然机器翻译在进步,但专业笔译在合同、法律、文学这些领域还是不可替代的。国际学生学这个专业,可以发挥母语优势(比如俄语母语者学中译俄),在中国或回国都有机会。

Career prospects

毕业后可以去翻译公司(如传神、中译语通)、大型企业的国际部门(华为、中石油、阿里巴巴都有俄语需求)、政府机构(外交部、商务部、地方外办)、媒体(新华社、央视俄语频道)、出版社(做俄语图书引进)。岗位主要是笔译员、审校、项目经理。刚入行月薪大概8000-12000元人民币,有经验后能到15000-25000元。自由职业译员按字数收费,中译俄每千字300-600元,俄译中稍低。国际学生如果中文好,还可以做中俄双语编辑或本地化专员。
