The German Translation & Interpreting (BA) program at Ege University is a four-year undergraduate course designed to train students in both translation and interpreting, with a particular emphasis on German-Turkish language pairs. The curriculum encompasses both theoretical frameworks and practical experiences: students take part in literary, media, legal, and technical translation, as well as consecutive and simultaneous interpreting. Key courses include translation theory and criticism, applied translation across diverse textual genres, and specialized translation (legal, technical, economic, and literary). The program aims to develop advanced proficiency in German alongside strong knowledge of Turkish, translation technology, interpreting strategies, and the nuances of cross-cultural communication. Graduates of this program are well-prepared for careers as professional translators and interpreters in governmental institutions, international organizations, the private sector, media, publishing, and academia. They are also equipped to specialize further through postgraduate studies. The department's reputation as one of the most preferred in Turkey reflects the strong demand among students and employers for its graduates, who possess robust linguistic, critical, and practical translation skills[1].
