Department of Philosophy

I'm Berrak Tüter. I am 23 years old. I am a senior student at Anadolu University, Department of Philosophy. Anadolu University Department of Philosophy is in the Yunus Emre Campus of the Tepebaşı district of Eskişehir. Our department aims to train people who can think critically, make conceptual distinctions, have professional competence and can improve themselves. Philosophy history courses are given in our department. These courses are Ontology, Epistemology, Aesthetics, Ethics and Logic. We also have vocational electives covering many different areas of philosophy. In our department, we have a workshop where we teach Performative Philosophy. In this course, we try to remove theoretical philosophy from theoretical knowledge and transfer it to the practical knowledge. We do not have a compulsory internship in our department, but we have to submit a research project in order to graduate. In the 4th grade, we have the courses named philosophical research 1 and 2 in the fall and spring semesters, respectively. In this course, we write a thesis related to the subject we are interested in and present these theses to our professors. Graduates of the Department of Philosophy can become academics, and they can also pursue different job opportunities. These include public relations, advertising, human resources, and many other areas where they can utilize their effective thinking capabilities. Our graduates can be appointed as philosophy group teachers in schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education (MEB), as long as the necessary conditions are met. Before choosing my department, I researched courses and the course contents that are offered in the Department of Philosophy. I chose my department after I decided that these courses appealed to me. I think that the lessons are very interesting and exciting for me. I think I look at things from a different perspective now. Anadolu University's campus is very beautiful, it has a liberal structure, its social activities are very developed, and there are many different student club options, which are some of the factors that made me choose Anadolu University. I want to pursue a master's degree after graduation. After that, I want to stay in the academia. I recommend the candidates who will prefer our university to participate in social activities as much as possible. I suggest they go to concerts, theaters and movies. Also, I can recommend the food of the cafeteria. The students who will choose our department should first discover whether they are interested in philosophy or not. If they are interested in philosophy, the department is for them. Apart from that, after coming to the department, they can improve themselves better if they participate in academic congresses, symposiums and conferences. I wish good luck to those who will take the exam. We would like to see you among us.
