Theology

Hello, I'm Professor Hasan Keskin. I am dean of the Faculty of Theology at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University. Our faculty was established in 2012. The purpose of our faculty is to train theologians, teachers and clergymen who can take social responsibility, understand and interpret Islam correctly from their sources and make sense of the present world. In our Department of Fundamental Islamic Sciences, there are 7 main branches: interpretation, hadith, history of words and denominations, Islamic Law, Arabic language and belagati, Quran and Kiraat Science and Sufism. There are 2 main branches of Islamic philosophy and religious sciences in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Sciences. There are also 2 departments in our Islamic history and Arts department. These are the Islamic History and Turkish Islamic Literature Department and the Islamic Arts Departments. Courses such as Arabic, Quran, Interpretation, Hadith, Islamic Law, History of Words and Denominations, Sufism, Islamic History, Turkish Islamic Literature, Islamic Philosophy, Religious Education, History of Religions, Sociology of Religion are taught in our faculty. Our faculty is 4 years old. There is also a mandatory Arabic preparatory course for 1 year. There is a compulsory teaching practice for seniors. Students of our faculty benefit from exchange programs such as Erasmus, Mevlana and Farabi. When our students graduate, they have the opportunity to work as teachers in institutions affiliated with the Ministry of National Education and as religious officials in the Directorate of Religious Affairs. They can also take different positions in various institutions of our state. Today, I recommend that students who want to learn and understand Islam correctly from the main sources should choose our faculty. Our faculty has a very qualified academic staff. In addition, students are supported by extracurricular academic support programs during the year. In the programs carried out under the title of “lecture rings”, text-centered readings are carried out on many subjects such as classical and modern Arabic, classical interpretations, hadiths, fıkıh, word and syer texts, Islamic thought, classical philosophy. Tekirdağ is a place that stands out with its historical and cultural heritage and beautiful nature. We have a spacious campus that is located in the center and surrounded by nature. Our faculty is located within this main campus. If you want to take advantage of all these opportunities, we welcome you all to our university and faculty. I wish success to all students who will take the exam.
