Hello,

My name is Agah, I am a senior student at İstanbul Arel University, Department of Translation and Interpreting. I want to do a master's degree in language technologies, and I am happy to inform you that I've already been accepted from several universities.

First, I would like to tell you about the universities and programs into which I have been offered admission. I was accepted by the MSc Speech & Language Processing (1 year full-time) program of the University of Edinburgh, which ranks 18th in the world. Upon the application process for this program, I submitted my TOEFL grade, my GPA, my letter of intent, and two letters of reference from my professors to the University of Edinburgh. After passing the first stage, I was entitled to participate in a Skype interview. In the Skype interview, I answered some simple math questions, sent some sample code I wrote, and in general talked about my goals. Following this interview, I received an e-mail notifying me that I was entitled to enroll in the program. The only condition being that my GPA should be 3.40 or above. Tuition fee of the program is £ 26,500, and the living expenses are just as much. To be realistic, it is very difficult to finance this program. Therefore, I applied to other programs. https://www.ed.ac.uk/studying/postgraduate/degrees...

Among the programs I have applied, I have also been offered admission by the 2-year Master's in Language & Communication Technologies program coordinated by the Erasmus Mundus program. According to this program, the first year of my graduate education will take place in Spain (University of Basque Country), the second year in Germany (Saarland University). For the application, I submitted my TOEFL grade, my GPA, letter of intent, and two letters of reference. Since the program mainly covers Computer Science classes, they have asked me to study computer science courses online in advance. I have a 2-year programming history and a Android and Java Developer certificate from SmartPro and Microsoft so I have accepted this condition and subsequently received my offer letter. This program is relatively more affordable. The program costs 4250 euros per year (2 years 8500 euros). More at https://lct-master.org/index.php

On November 26, 2018, we organized an international and multidisciplinary conference together with the Translation Club, where I was the chairman of our board. The aim of this conference was to shed light on the latest developments in machine translation and to bring students together with the leading names of the industry. Among the many important speakers, President of the European Association of Machine Translation. Dr. Mikel L. Forcada was also present. After talking to him, he told me that he could provide me with an internship opportunity at Alikante University. Long story short, I will be able to do internship in the field of machine translation at Alikante University for 3 months.

The Turkish currency has lost a lot of value for the last 8-9 months. For this reason, I will need financial support to participate in the Erasmus Mundus program. Your contributions will be of tremendous help. You can contact me at [email protected] or at https://www.linkedin.com/in/agah-tu%C4%9Frulhan-polat-490565b6/.

Thank you very much for your time and support!

Kindest regards,

Agah
