Overview
About the program
- One of the main aims of the PhD program in Translation Studies at Bogazici University is to examine the cultural interaction between Turkey and other cultures through the phenomenon of translation.
- As research into cultural processes requires an approach that includes disciplines such as sociology, literature, psychology, history, political science, philosophy and cultural studies, the PhD program is designed to offer a multidisciplinary perspective.

Students entering the program from outside the Department may be required to take certain prerequisite courses specified by the Department.
