If you just want to improve your academic qualifications, it is recommended to take the last batch, and the requirements and thresholds will be lower; If you want to engage in professional translation and hope to have a better career development, it is recommended to apply for the first or second batch of MTI, preferably in first-tier cities, so that there are more opportunities for study, exchange, exercise and employment! Of course, the postgraduate entrance examination should be based on personal circumstances, and what suits you is the best choice;
You may wish to take the warm-up exam of CATTI 3 first and practice your hands first. Of course, it is best to pass CATTI 2 before taking MTI, which will give the interviewer a better impression in the second interview. You can add some group communication between CATTI and MTI to get information and share review experience.
Each school's MTI has certain characteristics, which are generally related to the school's discipline characteristics and strength; MTI colleges with national key disciplines of law are generally strong in legal translation (such as MTI of East China Political Science and Law); Medical translation in the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is relatively strong; The translation strength and employment opportunities of financial universities in the field of economy and finance are relatively good; At present, the translation fields such as law, economy, commerce, science and technology, medicine and patents are all relatively good and the treatment is relatively high.
By the end of 2065438+February 2008, there were 399 translation master's and translation undergraduate colleges in China, and the top three provinces were Hubei (29), Henan (27) and Jiangsu/Beijing (26). Among them, there are 246 translation master's colleges, and the top three provinces are: Beijing (25), Shandong (16) and Shanghai/Shaanxi/Jiangsu (15); There are ***252 translation colleges, and the top three provinces are Henan/Hubei (2 1) and Guangdong (18); Jiangsu (17 College); At the same time, 99 colleges and universities offer master's and undergraduate degrees in translation;
From the employment point of view, the employment and treatment of translation master graduates in most MTI colleges are not ideal. The starting salary of MTI in Nanjing University is about 5.5K, and that in Shanghai is about 7K (20 18), which is related to the overall treatment of translators and the training caliber of graduates. MTI prefers to be a teacher rather than a translator, which goes against MTI's original intention. The employment treatment in the translation market varies greatly, and high positions are always reserved for senior translators with high level and rich project experience;
At present, MTI training, except for Beijing Foreign Studies University, Shanghai International Studies University, Guangzhou Foreign Studies University and other universities, is intensive and attaches great importance to the cultivation of practical ability. It is difficult for other universities to improve students' translation ability within two years. So many students need to improve their translation ability, project management, terminology management, CAT and translation QA tools (Trados, Memo-Q, WordFast, TransMate, X-Bench, Yima. Com, snowman translation, etc. ), cloud translation platform, computer retrieval and skills. Some students have not passed the CATTI Level 2 exam when they graduate, and some students' graduation theses are written by gunmen. I hope these phenomena can be improved in the future, and I hope that the overall level of MTI can be greatly improved, so that MTI people can better serve the translation industry and make greater contributions to social development and cultural, economic and political exchanges.
