Master’s in Conference Interpreting
Conference Interpreting Non-Thesis Master’s Program (CINT) is a multilingual, non-thesis program consisting of two semesters and a summer school. Based on merit, the university offers scholarship opportunities for those admitted to the program. The program is open to graduates of various departments of the faculties of translation and interpreting, law, business administration, international relations, economics, medicine, engineering, science and literature.
The program is co-financed by the European Union and Bilkent University.
CINT Program has two objectives. The first is to provide students with the knowledge and skills they will need as conference interpreters, taking into account the increasing demand for multilingual conference interpreters in Turkey and in international business circles and the possible membership of the European Union in the near future. The second aim is to train conference interpreters who are competent in the rapidly developing field of Interpreting Research and who know and can use the theories and methods related to the field.
The program languages are Turkish, English and French. It may be envisaged to increase the number of languages and diversify the language combinations specified in the program according to the needs that may arise in the coming years. Reaching a specific enrollment threshold is a prerequisite for the commencement of the program.
CINT Program is designed within the framework of the main outline of the Master’s Program in Conference Interpreting as envisaged by the European Union and the European Commission and is designed to meet AIIC’s criteria for graduate interpreting education.
