Specialization introduction

Major introduction

Using voice and image to convey information, cultivating media expression talents who are articulate and confident in front of the camera.

Program overview

This major is essentially about teaching you how to "speak well" and "stay calm in front of the camera." You'll learn how to move people with your voice—from standard Mandarin pronunciation and breath control to news broadcasting, program hosting, impromptu commentary, and even dubbing and recitation. Core courses include vocal delivery, language expression, radio program hosting, TV program hosting, news interviewing and writing, and image design. Who is it suitable for? If you love expressing yourself, are curious about media, aren't afraid to speak in front of others, or if you're a natural storyteller who enjoys mimicking different voices, this major will be right up your alley. Chinese universities have a strong practical tradition in this field—for example, Communication University of China and Zhejiang University of Media and Communications have professional studios, recording rooms, and offer plenty of on-camera and internship opportunities. For international students, you'll not only systematically learn Chinese broadcasting but also leverage your bilingual advantage to try your hand at Chinese-English bilingual hosting or international cultural programs.

Major prospects

现在媒体行业变化很快,传统电视台和广播电台依然需要专业主持人,但更多机会来自新媒体。短视频、直播带货、播客、有声书、虚拟主播……这些领域对声音和表达的需求越来越大。在中国,网络视听用户超过10亿,任何一个平台都需要能控场、会互动的主播。 国际学生可以关注几个方向:一是中文媒体里的国际频道或外语节目,比如CGTN、中国国际广播电台;二是跨国文化交流活动,比如展会、论坛的双语主持;三是自媒体创业,用你的母语+中文做内容,吸引海外华人或对中国感兴趣的外国观众。这个领域不只看学历,更看重实际能力和个人特色,所以只要你练好基本功,机会很多。

Career prospects

毕业后你可以去电视台、广播电台做播音员或主持人,也可以去新媒体公司做直播主播、短视频出镜人,或者进文化传媒公司做活动司仪、配音演员。还有不少毕业生选择做记者、出镜报道,或者去教育机构教语言表达。 薪资方面,刚入行在一线城市大概5000-8000元/月,有2-3年经验后普遍能到1-2万,如果成为知名主持人或头部主播,收入会高很多。国际学生如果中文流利,双语能力是加分项,薪资通常比纯中文背景的毕业生高20%-30%。当然,这个行业竞争也激烈,需要不断打磨自己的风格和技能。
