Bachelor in English Translation and Interpreting

Tuition fees for Bachelor in English Translation and Interpreting are 676 USD per year.

English Translation and Interpreting trains students to convert meaning accurately and fluently between English and their native language, both in written translation and in spoken interpreting settings. The curriculum typically combines advanced language study with dedicated translation and interpreting practice, covering areas such as literary translation, technical and legal translation, consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, terminology management, and translation theory. Students also study linguistics, contrastive grammar, and the cultural context that shapes how meaning shifts between languages, since accurate translation depends on more than vocabulary alone. Practical, skills-based coursework is central to the field, often including simulated interpreting sessions and translation projects across different text types, from business documents to creative writing. Graduates commonly go on to work as translators, interpreters, localization specialists, or editors, and the language and communication skills built in the program also support careers in international business, diplomacy, publishing, and media. This bachelor's program is taught in English over 4 years at Atatürk University in Erzurum, Turkey. Because translation and interpreting depend on strong command of the working language, English-medium delivery immerses students directly in the language they are training to translate, reinforcing fluency alongside technical translation skills. Atatürk University, based in the eastern Turkish city of Erzurum, offers this program within a broader public university setting that supports language and humanities study alongside translation-specific coursework. Across the four years, students build steadily from language proficiency and translation theory toward applied interpreting practice and more specialized translation work, arriving at graduation with a practical skill set for professional language work.
