Faculty of Literature

Hello, I’m Prof. Dr. Feridun Mustafa Emecan and I am the Dean of the Faculty of Arts, at the same time I am also a lecturer in the Department of History. This is our second year of graduates from our faculty. Our faculty is composed of basic Social Sciences fields like Philosophy, Turkish Language and Lıterature, History, as well as Translation and Psychology departments. Our department was created with a new approach that will allow our students to be educated in these basic disciplines of Social Science and have new doors opened for them and see Turkey’s social issues in a new light. We, as the Faculty of Arts, aim to develop students to a level where they can understand today’s social issues and create solutions for them. At the same time, we are here to provide academic career management for them. So we redesigned all of our courses to be compatible with this new approach. All of our classes are given by professors who are experts in their fields – our full time academicians are extremely distinguished and authors of respected works. We can provide an excellent academic environment for our students as our classes have 25 to 30 students and our students can benefit from different activities in and out of the classroom. Now, I just want to briefly highlight the importance of Social Sciences. Social Sciences will provide for the needs of today’s Turkey, it is the most important basis from which our cultural stucture can be uncovered. If Social Sciences didn’t cover these areas, we wouldn’t be able to understand and provide solutions for Turkey’s social issues. So, for this reason, philosophy, history, Turkish language and literature, and psychology are considered the basic sciences of the Social Sciences department. In this way, we are trying to capture a student profile that can reach the educational level to be aware of Turkey’s most important issues and we are trying to develop our students accordingly. Outside of these types of classes, and along with other development programs and foreign language support, our learners can reach a very high level. Our preparatory schools provide the highest level of education. The goal here is to ensure our students have completed their preparatory programs and are ready to continue into their departments. I can quite comfortably say that our success rates here are very high. So, we are awaiting prospective students who want to immerse themselves in a quality level of education and who want to work with our expert professors.
