Tourist Guiding Program

Hello, I am Mehmet Yaver. I am a 1st year student of Tourist Guidance Program at Kazlıçeşme Campus of Istanbul Topkapı University. Our program aims to train experienced, knowledgeable, professional tourist guides. The courses offered in our program in general are Archeology, History of Anatolian Civilizations, Introduction to Tourism Guidance and Art History. There are no applied courses in our program. However, both Turkey and Istanbul provide a perfect geography to practice. At the end of the 1st year, we have a total of 20 working days of compulsory internship. If you want, you can find a place to carry out this internship or you can get help from the Career Planning Office. When we graduate from our program, we can work in different fields of tourism sector according to our expertise. The reason why I chose this program is that I am an active person and I like to socialize. So, this profession is more suitable for me than other professions. I greatly benefit from our expert academic staff. After I graduate, I want to complete my master's degree and work as a guide abroad. If you like to teach new things to people while also learning from them, and if you are an active individual, you should choose this program. You can choose Istanbul Topkapı University for its strong academic staff and central location. I wish success to the candidates who will prefer the Istanbul Topkapı University Tourist Guidance Program.
