Sevgili üniversite adaylarımız,
Elimize ulaşan son bilgilere göre, Yükseköğretim Kurulu, Çeviribilim olan bölüm adını "Çeviribilimi" olarak değiştirdiğinden Bölümümüz yeni olmadığı hâlde yeni açılmış olarak görülmekte ve Yükseköğretim Programları ve Kontenjanları Kılavuzunda Bölüm isminin yanında "yeni" ibaresi yer almaktadır. Bölümümüzde bu küçük isim değişikliği dışında bir değişiklik yoktur. 2019 tavan-taban puanları ve ayrıntılı bilgi için https://tanitim.boun.edu.tr/ adresini inceleyebilirsiniz.
Hepinize başarılar ve sağlıklı günler dileriz.

We are pleased to announce the winner of our 'Caption Competition' as first-year student Arzu Akiner with her caption Translating distance into smiles. Congratulations to Arzu, and many thanks to everyone who entered the competition.
Seeing you, our students, in class — even via a computer screen — really did help to put smiles on our faces, so thank you to all of you for your hard work, patience and perseverance during these difficult times. We hope to be back together very soon, but in the meantime wish you the best of luck for your finals.
Keep well, and keep smiling!
We have taken a Zoom family photo with a representative sample of students from different year groups, but need a catchy caption to finish it off. Get your creative juices flowing and come up with a clever caption, in Turkish or English (or even a mix of the two) then submit it here. The winning entry will have their words immortalised here on the department website!
Small Print: The competition is open to current students and alumni of the Department of Translation and Interpreting Studies.
For his valuable contributions to Japanese-Turkish relations, our faculty member Assoc. Prof. Oğuz Baykara has been rewarded with Japanese Consul General Reward!
