Bachelor in English Translation and Interpreting

English Translation and Interpreting trains students to convert written and spoken material between English and other languages accurately and effectively, drawing on linguistics, literature, and cross-cultural communication. Coursework typically covers translation theory, consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, terminology management, specialized translation for legal and technical texts, and comparative linguistics. Students learn to render meaning precisely across languages, adapt to different registers and contexts, and use translation and interpreting techniques appropriate to written, spoken, and technical material. Graduates pursue careers as translators, interpreters, localization specialists, and language consultants, working with publishing houses, international organizations, media outlets, and businesses that operate across language communities. This bachelor program runs for 4 years at Çağ University in Mersin, Turkey, and is taught in English, immersing students directly in the working language central to the discipline. Mersin's role as a port city connecting diverse trading partners provides practical context for language and translation work tied to international commerce. The program combines linguistic theory with extensive practical translation and interpreting exercises. Students typically progress from foundational language and linguistics courses to specialized practice in written translation and oral interpreting, building the skills needed for professional language-service careers.
