Faculty of Theology

Hello students, I am Güler TURAK. I am a senior student at Balıkesir University, Faculty of Theology. The faculties of theology are institutions where education is provided on the fundamental values of Islam, as well as art, philosophy, and other religions. The Faculty of Theology at Balıkesir University was established in 2012. From 2012 to 2020, it carried out its educational and academic activities at the Necatibey Education Faculty located in the center. Since October 2022, it has been continuing its educational and academic activities at the Çağış Campus. In addition to courses such as Arabic, the Quran, Hadith, exegesis, Islamic law, Islamic history, philosophy, and Sufism, we also take formation courses. We have a marbling workshop and a music hall that contribute to the intellectual and artistic skills of us students. We do our internships in the 4th year, in both semesters. We carry out our internships in primary schools, middle schools, imam-hatip middle schools, high schools, and imam-hatip high schools, with 6 hours per week. Our graduation ceremony is held in the spring semester every year with the support of our professors and classmates. Additionally, we have traditional city trips as part of the graduation activities for senior students. We can work as religious officials at the Presidency of Religious Affairs and in institutions and organizations affiliated with the Ministry of National Education. I chose this department in order to better learn about the Islamic religion and other religions and to pass it on to future generations. I chose Balıkesir University because of its strong academic staff and its commitment to national and spiritual values. We can easily contact the academic staff of our faculty and benefit from our rich library and workshop. We also benefit from article readings with our professors and projects carried out within the faculty's associations. After graduation, I plan to apply for a master's degree and serve as a teacher of religious culture and ethics. Balıkesir is a student-friendly city, and you can choose our university and faculty because of its strong infrastructure and academic staff. I wish all students who will take the university entrance exam success. We are waiting for you at Balıkesir University, Faculty of Theology.
