At present the issue of correlation between the research topics of graduate papers and needs of the translation market is becoming relevant because it helps to improve the quality of future translators’ preparation. Bachelor’s thesis should solve real complex translation objectives. The purpose of this article is to justify the need for a practical orientation of the Bachelor’s thesis. The methodological basis of the study is a practiceoriented approach to learning. The material of the study is the Federal Educational Standard in Linguistics, Bachelor’s level; the Professional Translator Standard, Buryat State University students’ graduate papers of the past five years majoring in Translation and Translation Studies. Research methods are analysis of the translation theory and practice literature; study and analysis of legal documents regulating the process of obtaining Bachelor’s degrees in Linguistics, the method of summarizing pedagogical experience. The Professional Translator Standard’s introduction requires the revision of practice-oriented approach to training and to writing the Bachelor’s graduate papers, which changes the research tasks of the Bachelor’s thesis and the selection of the material of the thesis that would meet the market requirements.
