We have determined 12 fields of competency and we are going to measure our students against these competencies in the first year to support competencies to be improved and we are going to award “Certificate of Competency” at the graduation. This certificate will give our graduates competencies needed in each aspect of life such as lifelong learning, global approach development, sensitivity to community problems, leadership, creativity, entrepreneurism, innovation, written and verbal communication, social responsibility awareness, which define the competencies of the twenty first century, and our students will take their places in life” said Mehmet Durman.
Mission and vision of a university is important

If possible, candidates should visit universities, meet the lecturers, administrators and students. I believe that what our candidates look for is in the mission, vision and basic values of universities. They should also consider those. Then, they should have confidence in their instincts, the beauty in their dreams will definitely bring the most beautiful things to them”.
