First, English major.
1, English Language and Literature, Foreign Linguistics, Applied Linguistics
These three majors are all traditional classic English majors; The so-called postgraduate English major actually refers to these three majors, which generally include translation, English culture, foreign literature, linguistics, applied linguistics and many other branches. Among them, linguistics and literature are more theoretical, while applied linguistics and translation are more applied. At present, applied linguistics mainly refers to English teaching method, and students who are interested in being teachers can choose it as their major.
2. Master of Translation
Divided into academic and professional categories.
Translation includes translation and interpretation. Each school will have its own bias in the specific curriculum. For example, English majors in Beijing Normal University prefer translation, while most of the translation in university of international business and economics is business interpretation. Linguistics is a highly theoretical subject. Students who are interested in the language itself or like to do theoretical research can choose this course, and later they can choose to be teachers or enter specialized language research institutions. Foreign literature mainly includes English literature and American literature, and students interested in literature can choose this direction for further study.
3. Teacher Education and Subject Education English.
Pedagogy is an academic master, and subject teaching is a professional master. Pedagogy focuses on theory and academic research, while subject teaching focuses on teaching and practice. The reason why more people apply for the former is that they need to have a master's degree or a doctorate in education when they enter school, and they want to be appraised or promoted. The main employment targets of these two majors are junior high school teachers in some cities and teachers in some universities (for example, most universities in Shanghai require doctors in education, and masters can only be counselors and soy sauce. )。 But the possibility of entering the company is not ruled out. The company is mainly engaged in secretarial, human resources and primary auxiliary management positions.
4. Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language/Teaching Chinese as an International Language
In fact, this major was listed as a red warning major a few years ago, because the supply of talents exceeded the demand, resulting in a large number of graduates from Adventure Island. However, since 15, this major has shown signs of recovery, which shows that it still has certain application value. As bilingual education is involved, candidates need to master two languages well. The main employment direction of this major is foreign teachers. Some of them can get the opportunity to work abroad, and some stay in first-and second-tier cities in China to enter counseling institutions for bilingual counseling.
Second, choose a major across majors
News and communication.
The employment direction of this major mainly includes: editing in publishing house, entering TX,
The news app departments of Internet companies such as Netease, Sina and Phoenix Media are all editors and reporters of local TV stations. I have a school girl who graduated from the Japanese Department of Shanghai University and handed in university news, and later worked as an intern in Xinhua News Agency. Now she has been a formal student for many years. The overall work is too much, involving certain foreign language content, which is more suitable for English majors. This major has opened the door to many English majors who don't want to be teachers or study mathematics. The employment prospects are really good, because the domestic market is not saturated and there is still a huge gap for journalists.
2. Management/Enterprise Management
Management is a science that systematically studies the basic laws and general methods of management activities. It is a science that studies the law of human management activities and its application. It focuses on using some tools and methods to solve management problems, such as quantitative and qualitative analysis and operational research and statistics. Management is defined as the process in which managers and others complete activities efficiently and effectively through others.
Management is considered by many British college boys. On the one hand, management mathematics is mathematics III, so the difficulty is not high. Moreover, its reference book is management books, and the concepts in it can be integrated, so what really needs to be memorized will not be too scary. On the other hand, because many boys don't want to study literature, they want to climb into the company, enter the management and get ahead, so they are quite popular with boys in British universities.
3. Illegality of 3.LLM.
In recent years, the demand for "English+law" compound talents in the legal profession has become more and more urgent. The main reason is that with the frequent international trade exchanges, the demand for various foreign-related cases and foreign-related legal advice is increasing, and foreign-related legal talents who are proficient in English and international law are particularly important.
There is a great demand for illegal students with master of laws, and they also have high requirements for English. English majors have certain advantages in applying for these majors. In addition, although Master Fa has been overheated in recent years and the employment situation is not optimistic, on the whole, it is still an advantageous subject, especially legal talents who know English will be very popular.
4. International Trade Major
China is a big exporter, and it is in urgent need of a large number of international trade talents. At present, the talent gap in international trade is close to 600,000 every year. Therefore, the major of international trade is not only a "commercial street", but also a
International trade has two hands-English and economy and trade, both of which are indispensable. Although English majors have the direction of economic and trade English, it is better for English majors who want to engage in foreign trade to take the postgraduate entrance examination, because this major is more in line with the needs of employers and has a very good employment prospect. Taking China Renmin University and Fudan University as examples, the one-time employment rate of 20 14 graduate students majoring in international trade is over 90%, and there are accounting firms, securities and futures companies, foreign trade companies, etc., among which there are many large enterprises such as Ping An Insurance Company, China Household Appliances Import and Export Company and four internationally renowned accounting firms.
Third, English majors choose professional suggestions for postgraduate entrance examination
Many English majors like to take the postgraduate entrance examination for the popular major of economic management, which is actually not a wise choice; English majors don't necessarily have an advantage in math, which is a subject that can easily lead to poor grades. Whether mathematics can become a thoroughfare is the key to the success of postgraduate entrance examination. However, international trade majors are generally four points, and some schools are three points (such as Tsinghua), which is relatively difficult. Therefore, candidates must carefully read the examination requirements of each school before registering. In addition, because they have not systematically studied the knowledge of economic theory, English majors will feel nervous about specialized courses such as macroeconomics and microeconomics, which should not be underestimated.
Management needs to take advanced mathematics, and generally requires a difficult number three (subject to the examination requirements of various schools), which is very difficult for English majors who have been far away from "scientific thinking" for a long time. There is no obvious disadvantage for English majors to apply for a master's degree in Fa.
The study of law requires memorizing a lot of professional basic knowledge, and also has certain requirements for Chinese expression. Some English majors are slightly weaker than other liberal arts majors in this respect.
