Department of International Relations

I am Dr. Fahriye Begüm YILDIZELİ, the head of the International Relations Department at Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University. Our department is committed to understanding human relations and has become increasingly important in today's world with the rise of nation-states, diplomacy, and globalization. Our goal is to evaluate present-day issues from a historical perspective and provide suggestions for future analyses. Additionally, we evaluate global actors in various fields such as international organizations, states, and non-governmental organizations.Our department is interdisciplinary and includes many fields such as international law, political history, and international politics. We prepare our students for a dynamic education and aim to provide a wide range of education to our students, not only in the national arena but also in the international arena. As an international university, we aim to graduate our students with education at international standards, and we plan to provide English-based education and language training.
Our curriculum begins with basic courses such as economics, law, political science, and Turkish foreign policy, which are taught in the first year. In the following years, students have the opportunity to specialize in different courses such as European Union studies, regional studies, energy diplomacy, or digital diplomacy. With this course planning, we aim to equip our students with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in various sectors such as the business world, public sector, and beyond. We look forward to welcoming our students to our department and providing them with a quality education that prepares them for success in the future.
