Faculty of Theology

Hello, everyone. I am İsmail ÇOLAK, a 3rd-year student at the Faculty of Theology, Balıkesir University. I am also a hafiz (someone who has memorized the entire Qur'an). Our department is located at Balıkesir University Çağış Campus. Our department was established to study the history of religions and related sciences. Arabic language education is provided as part of our curriculum. Additionally, other courses such as exegesis, theology, history of religions, sociology, philosophy, and formation courses are also offered. We have workshops for religious music and also a workshop for the art of marbling (ebru) in our faculty. Fourth-year students in our faculty carry out internships as religious culture teachers or vocational subject teachers in schools within our province. Graduates from our faculty can work within the Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı) and can also consider other fields such as teaching in the Ministry of National Education. Furthermore, they can pursue academic careers by meeting the requirements for academic positions. One of the most important reasons for choosing Balıkesir University Faculty of Theology is its academic staff. Our academic staff and instructors contribute the most to our education. Other things that contribute to our development are seminar studies, activities, and our rich library. After graduating from our faculty, I intend to pursue a master's degree and continue my academic career. I highly recommend those who truly love and desire this field to come here. I wish success to students who will take the exam this year. We are waiting for you at Balıkesir University Faculty of Theology.
