Bachelor in English Translation and Interpreting

Translation and Interpreting is the study of converting meaning between languages, both in written form (translation) and spoken form (interpreting), while preserving accuracy, tone, and cultural context. Students in this field study translation theory, terminology and specialized vocabulary across domains such as legal, technical, literary, and business texts, alongside practical translation exercises between English and their native language. Interpreting coursework typically introduces consecutive and simultaneous interpreting techniques, along with note-taking methods and exercises designed to build the speed and accuracy needed for real-time language conversion. Linguistics, cultural studies, and advanced language courses in both languages generally form the core of the curriculum. Graduates pursue careers as translators, interpreters, localization specialists, and language consultants, working for translation agencies, international organizations, publishing houses, media companies, and government or private sector institutions that require accurate cross-language communication. Some graduates continue into specialized postgraduate translation or interpreting programs, while others apply their language skills in international business, diplomacy, or tourism-related roles.
