Bachelor in English Translation and Interpreting

English Translation and Interpreting prepares students to work professionally between English and their native language, joining advanced language proficiency with the theory and practice of translation and interpreting. The curriculum generally includes written translation of legal, technical, literary, and commercial texts, consecutive and simultaneous interpreting practice, contrastive grammar and linguistics, and terminology work across specialized fields. Students also study translation theory and ethics and gain experience with the computer-assisted translation software widely used in the language services industry today. This bachelor program is offered by Ege University, a state institution located in İzmir, Turkey, and is completed over 4 years of full-time study, with instruction delivered in English. The English-medium format immerses students in the target language throughout their studies, supporting the high level of accuracy and fluency that professional translation and interpreting work demands. Career paths for graduates include freelance and staff translation work, conference and liaison interpreting, subtitling and localization, and language consulting for companies and institutions that operate internationally. Many graduates find roles in publishing, media, tourism, international organizations, and the diplomatic sector, while others continue into graduate study in translation studies, applied linguistics, or interpreting. Because English functions as a global lingua franca across business, science, and diplomacy, the degree offers a wide range of employment options across sectors that rely on precise cross-language communication.
