This bachelor's program runs for 4 years and is taught in English at Istanbul Health and Technology University, located in Istanbul, Turkey. Studying in an English-medium program gives students sustained, intensive exposure to the language they will be working with professionally, supporting the high level of fluency the field requires. Istanbul, as a city with substantial international business and cultural activity, offers practical contexts for translation and interpreting work outside the classroom. The program combines language training with professional skills, aiming to prepare graduates for the accuracy, cultural awareness, and adaptability that translation and interpreting work demands.
