Within the framework of the Department of Foreign Languages, Translation Studies, Japanese Language and Literature, Spanish Language and Literature, Russian Language and Literature, English Language and Literature, German Language and Literature and French Language and Literature departments were opened with the aim of reaching both the Far East and the Western world. On 23 November 2021, the Department of Foreign Languages was divided into Eastern Languages and Literatures and Western Languages and Literatures. There are Russian Language and Literature and Japanese Language and Literature Departments within the Eastern Languages and Literatures Department.
As it is known, societies think, produce and create their cultures with their languages. Both social and material cultural elements are transferred to future generations only through language. Especially in today's globalizing world, the borders have been lifted and inter-human dialogue and intercultural exchange, cultural and social sharing have both become easier and increased. We know that besides the interaction of different cultures with each other, these interactions will be at a higher level on scientific platforms. When we look at the history of Europe and Anatolia, many translated works are also included in the history books, where they play a very important role in the change and development of society and have an important role in the enrichment of cultures.
Bozok University aims to be a door through education, which is the most important tool in Turkey's opening to the world. It aims to contribute to Yozgat's development and become a world city and to train well-equipped people about the Far East and the Western world for the Republic of Turkey.
