What this leads to

The picture for asian studies as of 2026-08-17, not a description of this particular program.

Graduates often work as translators, interpreters, international relations officers, or analysts in government agencies and NGOs. Some work in media, cultural institutions, education, or business roles that require Asia expertise, though many pursue graduate degrees to move into more specialized positions.

In its favour

  • You can add language skills to work in high-demand sectors like diplomacy, development, and international business
  • Salary grows steadily over time—graduates earn around $46,300 five years out and $54,900 after ten years
  • Strong employment rate: 83% are employed within two years of graduation

Worth knowing

  • Entry-level pay is low—median of $30,200 two years after graduation, and $48,176 within two years
  • AI translation tools have captured 40% of the translation market and are killing basic translation jobs—if translation is your plan, reconsider
  • Most graduates (64%) need further education to compete for better roles, meaning undergrad alone is often not enough
  • Language skills alone are no longer a marketable commodity—employers now want interdisciplinary skills, not pure language proficiency

How AI is changing this work

Translation and interpretation—historically a key career path for Asian Studies graduates—is being rapidly automated. AI tools are now doing 95% of routine translation work. However, high-end translation requiring cultural judgment, specialized knowledge in tech/science, and interpretation work (which requires real-time processing and cultural mediation) are holding up better. If you take this degree, plan to develop expertise beyond language: policy analysis, regional history, business acumen, or a second discipline. Pure language skills will not sustain a career by 2031.
