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.
