Department of Philosophy

Hello, my name is Yusuf Islam Mısırlıoğlu and I am a student in the Philosophy Department of Erzurum Technical University. The Department of Philosophy wants to educate students who understand the position of human beings, and gives importance to science and to art, to goodness and wants to raise students who can produce solutions in the easiest way to those problems encountered in daily life. In the Department of Philosophy we study courses in the fields of politics, religion and art, which are the sub-branches of philosophy. In addition to these, we process the philosophical periods from the early ages to the present day, and we also study languages such as English, Ottoman and Persian as foreign languages. We also take psychology and sociology lessons. Unlike applied fields we have no need of workshops in the Department of Philosophy. We need books and the internet. In this context, our library and computer labs are available all the time. As to the areas where we can work, there is primarily teaching. We can pursue an academic career and work in many fields such as sociology and psychology. I think that philosophy is the most important thing to develop a person and this is why I chose this department. In retrospect, we see that philosophers and politicians have generally studied philosophy. So after graduation I would like to have a role in bureaucracy, in politics. Firstly, our teaching staff is highly qualified. As our university is a young university, the opportunities offered to us are very many and if you come to our university you will benefit from them. If you like research and questioning, you should definitely choose the philosophy department. I wish success to all those candidates taking the entrance exam. I await you all at Erzurum Technical University.
