It has been such a joy for us. I’ve received many job offers. That is also a source of pride for us. We’ve received the best training at the University. The fact that our academicians offered external sources and treated us very friendly contributed greatly to our success. I am doing a double major at Department of Political Science and International Relations. I plan to complete my graduate and Ph.D. degree as I continue to excel in the field of translation”.
