Turkish Language And Literature Department

Hi friends my name is Feyza Nur Yılmaz. I am a fourth year student at İstanbul 29 Mayıs University in the Departmetn of Turkish Language and Literature. Our department was founded for the purpose of training academics and scientists in understanding the classic Turkish Literature and Language. Our Faculty is located on our Altunizade campus. Generally, our classes consist of things like: Turkish Literature, Modern Turkish Literature, Folk Literature, and Turkology. In our first year, we take our general introduction classes. In our later years, we take classes more focused on our concentration. We can also take many different free elective classes. Most of our work is done in our university library and in the Center of Islamic Research’s library. We have a huge advantage in our studies to have access to these two great libraries. We share a building with the Faculty of Social Sciences. Our department has a mandatory internship and final thesis we must complete. For our final thesis, we can choose the topic that we would like to study and become experts in. Our school has founded to train academics. Later, we can work in high schools connected to the Ministry of Education or be a teacher in other types of schools. We can also become editors. I chose specifically to focus on the Turkish language and literature, because this is a needed field in many areas. I love that our school is located in Istanbul, which is a city that is rich in history and culture. One other important factor in my choosing this school was the wonderful and amazing academic staff. If you research about our academic staff, it will become more clear what I chose this school. Our professors are the best in their fields and are classroom sizes are small giving us close communication with our professors. I have loved that our school is in Istanbul and that it is located on the same campus as the Center for Islamic Research. Our university is constantly organizing conferences and activities that we can participate in. Participating in these kinds of conferences help us advance our education goals and provide good learning experiences for us. Our university has taught me how to examine a document carefully and then pull out my own conclusions from it. I know how to communicate what I learn with my own ideas now. After I graduate, I am hoping to puruse my masters and doctorate degree. I have loved this department and have no regrets. I am thinking that our university will be the best choice for you in your future academic studies. I would like to recommend for all students to come to our university for a visit. Come see our libraries, campus, and the Center for Islamic Research. You can make a better decision this way.
