Political Science and Public Administration

Hello, I am Emre Akcagündüz. I am a research assistant at Trakya University, Department of Political Science and Public Administration. Trakya University’s Department of Political Science and Public Administration was established in 1992 within the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences. Our department started its educational activities in the 1993-1994 academic year. Our department is built on 4 main branches of science. Those are Law, Political and Social Sciences, Management Sciences and Urbanization and Environmental Policies. In the field of Legal Sciences, courses such as Constitutional and Administrative Law, Law of Obligations, Civil Law and Tax Law are given. In the field of Political and Social Sciences, courses such as Introduction to Political Science, Political Sociology, and Turkish Political Life are offered. In the Management Sciences field, courses such as Public Administration, Turkish Management History and Management Psychology are given. In the Department of Political and Social Sciences, courses such as Introduction to Political Science, History of Political Thought and Political Sociology are offered. The students of our department benefit from the computer laboratory and reading rooms in the common areas of our faculty. Students of our department can do internships in the public and private sectors upon request by contacting the career officer of our department. Our department also attaches great importance to the Erasmus program. Our department has made Erasmus agreements with 15 universities from 7 different countries. Our goal is to double that number. Faculty members of our department participate in national and international congresses and symposiums. In addition, our students participate in national and international student congresses through our student societies. Graduates of our department can find jobs in 2 main sectors. First is the public sector; In this sector, they can find jobs in many fields such as district governorship, administrative judgeship, inspectorship and expertise in ministries. In the private sector, they can find job opportunities in areas such as marketing, public relations and banking. We have some recommendations for the candidates who will prefer our department, we recommend that they make use of the student societies established within our department, and we recommend that they develop their foreign language skills. In addition, we hope that they read the works in the reading list prepared by the faculty members of our department and that they graduate from our department ready for their professional lives. Trakya University offers many opportunities to our students coming from outside of Edirne. Accommodation services are at the forefront of these opportunities. Trakya University has quite adequate facilities in terms of accommodation. In addition, Trakya University offers 3 meals a day to its students. We welcome all candidates who want to have a career in the public sector, such as district governor, administrative judge, to our department. We wish success to the candidates who will take the exam.
