Islamic studies at its center together, although newly established at various universities in Turkey and especially Istanbul, is taught by expert teachers in the field and with integrity. Course lasts for a 1 year period. Eight classes are given in that year. These courses can be grouped into three main topic in General. First Modern Age Of Ottoman History. More or less, from the fourteenth, fifteenth and the eighteenth centuries of the Ottoman History has been taught You will be given techchnical training in our library for the course in the Ottoman archives writing. The professors teach that at the end of this research may pose a serious study of how literature is written. The second group is the contemporary lessons. Nineteenth century, twentieth-century Turkey and European history of the new age. The goal of this training is to have the ability to comment as a technical historian. The third group of courses is given by specialized historian teachers in lectures. This course should be in Turkish historiography, European historiography, and to be taught on Islamic historiography of classical texts and are taught by teachers in the interpretation of these texts. We do not need a laboratory in the Department of History. We have one of the few Islamic Studies Libraries in Turkey, maybe even the world. This library has books and resources in Turkish Arabic, English, Russian and French. The library has a 25 to 30 year history and has alot of resources in social sciences, history, theology, and science. Apart from that, the library of the Islamic Library is supported by digital resources. With these digital resources, you can track what is currently emerging in literature, as well as historical accurate digital scans of the Ottoman Shariah Registry which is very valuable for researchers. My biggest project in this university is to write a doctoral thesis. Teachers of the Department are supporting the students in how to write a good thesis and the dissertation phase of the project, not sparing their assistance in the writing stage. University professors from various state institutions can be obtain projects from foreign institutions. In parallel with the PhD thesis it can be worked as a researcher in various projects. of These types facilities are offered. When I started my education at Bogazici University, I decided to continue because of the teachers and academically, it had the studies that I wanted. I feel more comfortable here myself. The academic staff and library is the biggest reasons for my choice of this university. To my friends who plan to opt for a PhD program in History, I highly recommend Istanbul 29 Mayis because it has some of the highest ranked professors in Turkey. The teachers are among the best you'll find in the world. From the very beginning the reason I chose this school was the library and the staff. I would definitely recommend it to friends. We are waiting for you here at Istanbul 29 Mayis University
