Bachelor in English Translation and Interpreting

English Translation and Interpreting trains students to convert written and spoken material between English and their native language with accuracy and cultural sensitivity. Coursework covers translation theory, terminology management, consecutive and simultaneous interpreting techniques, and specialized translation in legal, technical, and literary domains. Students practice in language labs and simulated interpreting settings to build the speed and precision the profession requires. Graduates work as translators and interpreters for international organizations, publishing houses, media outlets, and businesses with cross-border operations, or pursue further study in translation studies or applied linguistics. The program is taught in English and runs over 4 years at KTO Karatay University, located in Konya, Turkey. Over the 4 years of study, students move from foundational courses toward more specialized electives, building both the theoretical grounding and the practical skills expected in the field. Studying at KTO Karatay University places students within Konya's wider academic and professional community, giving access to campus resources, faculty guidance, and opportunities to connect coursework with real-world practice through projects, internships, or research work depending on the track chosen. By graduation, students are expected to have a solid command of the discipline's core methods and terminology, along with the communication and analytical habits needed to move into entry-level professional roles or continue toward graduate study.
