GRADUATE PROGRAM

The Masters in Conference Interpreting Program is composed of two academic semesters and a summer school program. The objective of the degree program in Conference Interpreting is to train conference interpreters in Turkish/English/French. The language combinations offered in the program are A-CC, A-BC or A-A.

The curriculum aims to develop the special skills needed for interpreting and to achieve mastery of the contemporary interpreting techniques. In addition, professional interpreters require a wide range of applied courses and a broad background in contemporary practices and theories. Professional interpreting studies in Turkish, English and French include: mastery in sight translation, consecutive interpreting, simultaneous interpreting, media interpreting. Theoretical and lecture courses deal with fields such as European/international organizations, technologies for interpreters, computer literacy and contemporary interpreting theories. Students who are trained by professional conference interpreters have to complete a single final examination given at the end of the Interpreting Seminar course in the summer school period. Students are expected to display their interpreting skills to a jury composed of professional interpreters from Turkey and professional interpreters from abroad.
