Проведен статистический анализ распределения заказов на переводческом рынке по видам и тематикам перевода и распределения тем выпускных квалификационных работ студентов переводческих специальностей с целью повышения востребованности выпускников переводческих специальностей на рынке труда.</p></sec><sec><title>Методы исследования</title><p>Методы исследования. Приведен обзор статистики спроса на переводческих рынках РФ, ЕС и США. Собрана выборка тем переводческих выпускных квалификационных работ, защищенных в вузах РФ в 2018–2020 гг. Объем выборки составил 245 работ. В выборку вошло 8 % соответствующих вузов, что делает ее репрезентативной с доверительным интервалом 20 % и доверительной вероятностью 85 %. Темы выпускных квалификационных работ в выборке подразделялись на следующие категории: аудиовизуальный перевод; теоретическая лингвистика; локализация игр и ПО; медицинский перевод; научно-технический перевод; публицистические тексты; рекламные тексты; устный перевод; художественный перевод; юридический перевод.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты исследования</title><p>Результаты исследования. Установлено несоответствие содержания подготовки будущих переводчиков в вузах реальным потребностям рынка. Максимальные расхождения выявлены в категориях «художественный перевод» (превышение на 21,66 %), «научно-технический перевод» (нехватка на 20,08 %) и «публицистические тексты» (превышение на 16,32 %). Проанализированы темы 138 выпускных квалификационных работ, поданных на международный конкурс «Переводчик – творчество и просвещение» в 2022 г. Показано отсутствие положительной динамики: доля работ в категории «художественный перевод» достигла 34,06 %, а в категории «научно-технический перевод» – всего 11,59 %.</p></sec><sec><title>Выводы</title><p>Выводы. Приведены рекомендации по исправлению сложившейся ситуации: согласование тематик выпускных квалификационных работ с потребностями рынка, привлечение переводчиков-практиков к преподаванию, проведение практики в переводческих компаниях, подготовка студентов по четкой индивидуальной специализации, межкафедральные проекты.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Problem Statement</title><p>Problem Statement. This study contains a statistical analysis of the translation market by translation type and domain and the distribution of translation student graduation project subjects.</p><p>The purpose of this study is to improve the translation teaching quality through a better match between the graduation project subjects and the translation market demand.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and Methods</title><p>Materials and Methods. The authors reviewed the demand statistics for the Russian, EU, and US translation markets. We also collected a large database of translation graduation projects defended in Russian universities in 2018–2020. The series contains 245 projects. It covers 8 % of the relevant universities, which makes it representative with a 20 % confidence interval and 85 % confidence probability. The subjects of the graduation projects were divided into the following domains: audiovisual translation; theoretical linguistics; game and software localization; medical translation; research and technical translation; political journalism; advertising; interpretation; fiction; legal translation.</p></sec><sec><title>Results and Discussion</title><p>Results and Discussion. It was found that the university-level translator training does not match the actual market demand. The maximum discrepancies were found in the following categories: “fiction” (21.66 % excess), “research and technical translation” (20.08 % deficiency), and “political journalism” (16.32 % excess). In addition, we analyzed the subjects of 138 graduation papers submitted to the Translator Creativity and Education International Contest in 2022. The lack of positive dynamics was found: the share of fiction reached 34.06% while the research and technical translation category reduced to just 11.59 %.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>Conclusions. The following corrective measures are proposed: harmonization of the graduation paper subjects with the market demand, engaging practicing translators as instructors, internships with LSPs, personalized learning paths, and interdepartmental projects.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>тематики заказов на перевод</kwd><kwd>тематики ВКР</kwd><kwd>корреляция</kwd><kwd>переводческое образование</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>translation market demand</kwd><kwd>translation graduation projects</kwd><kwd>correlation</kwd><kwd>translator training</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Petrova O.V., Rodionova M.Y., Sdobnikov V.V.
