- interactive methodologies with student participation in the classroom;
- elective courses for students who plan to specialize in different disciplines;
- a chance to double-major or minor in relevant departments (Department of Translation, various departments in the Faculty of Fine Arts and the Faculty of Communication)
- easy access to course materials and faculty
- active student participation in our conferences and other academic events Erasmus programs through which students have the chance to continue their undergraduate studies abroad and spend one or two semesters in different European universities
- social work projects and charities to bolster students’ awareness of humanitarian and environmental issues.

Selecting the right scholarship can be a daunting process. With countless options available, students often find themselves overwhelmed and confused. The decision can be especially stressful for those facing financial constraints or pursuing specific academic or career goals.
To help students navigate this challenging process, we recommend the following articles:
Our students can do a double major or minor in departments deemed appropriate by YÖK, provided that they meet the criteria in the Double Major Education Application Principles and Minor Education Application Principles .
Our department offers students the opportunity to study or do an internship abroad through the Erasmus+ international exchange program. You can access detailed information about the application processes and criteria for these programs on our ERASMUS unit's WEB page .
Students who successfully complete the courses in the curriculum of the undergraduate departments or college programs they are registered in and have a GPA of at least 2.00 are eligible to graduate.
Having a recurring course does not prevent the student from taking a recurring course, but the following conditions must be met:
1. The student's total course load in each term must be limited to a maximum of 45 ECTS.
2. The student's GPA must be at least 2.0 out of 4.0.
3. If the recurring course the student will take is a language course (Spanish/Russian), the student must have taken the necessary recurring courses in order to take the course in question.

They can work as English teachers in public and private schools, English instructors in public and private universities, educational consultants, experts in many fields such as tourism, foreign trade, banking, media and publishing, or in institutions such as embassies and consulates, and experts in NGOs, local governments and private institutions. In addition, students who want to enter academic life and continue their education can continue their postgraduate education in fields such as English Language and Literature, American Culture and Literature, English Translation and Interpreting, Translation Studies, Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies.
