In addition, we offer thesis-based master’s programs in a foreign language in 3 departments and doctoral programs in a foreign language in 2 departments.

Our mission is founded on training graduates equipped with the knowledge and skills suited to the changing conditions of our country and the world by offering multidisciplinary graduate programs that respond to the evolving needs of the age. In this process, a large number of our respected academic staff participate in national and international projects, publish in leading scientific journals, and work diligently to raise our university’s position in international rankings.

Our vision is to educate academic leaders and specialists who translate knowledge into practice, create new values, possess analytical thinking skills, are entrepreneurial, and can produce solutions to problems. While adhering to our core values, we place great importance on elevating our educational and research activities from the national level to international platforms. In the future, we aim to make our institute a center recognized both nationally and internationally.

The institute develops policies with the goal of training qualified human resources at the academic level and, in this direction, supports our faculty and students throughout graduate processes.
