Bachelor in Translation and Interpreting

Translation and Interpreting trains students in the theory and practice of rendering meaning accurately between English and Turkish across written and spoken contexts. Coursework typically covers translation theory, terminology, specialized translation in fields such as legal, technical, and literary texts, and interpreting techniques for spoken communication. Students build strong command of both source and target languages alongside the analytical skills needed to preserve meaning, tone, and register across languages. Graduates work as translators, interpreters, localization specialists, and language consultants for businesses, government agencies, media organizations, and international bodies, and the degree also supports further graduate study in translation studies or linguistics. This bachelor's program is taught in English over 4 years at Siirt University in Siirt, Turkey. English-medium instruction gives students direct, sustained exposure to the language they are training to translate, strengthening the precision required for professional translation work. Studying in Siirt situates the program within a part of Turkey where language services are growing in importance for local and international connections. Across the four years, students typically progress from foundational language and translation theory courses toward specialized practice in particular text types, often concluding with a translation project or thesis. The program suits students who enjoy precise, detail-oriented work across languages.
