14 Educational and Professional Goals

Our long run goal is to evolve into one of the most prominent faculties in Turkey

• with its transparent administration that values exchange of views with the academic and administrative units at all levels and that makes its decisions in accordance with the principles solidified through past experiences,

• with its qualified staff that perform their duties under an atmosphere of close collaboration as well as productive competition, that not only keep up with the literature in their fields of study but also contribute to it by means of the publications they make and that bolster the development of the regional industry by carrying on the relevant research activities and educational services,

• with its students who are conscious of the fact that the administration is always considerate towards their complaints, demands and opinions, who believe that they are being well educated, who are well aware of their strengths and weaknesses, who can think critically rather than memorize and readily accept whatever facts and knowledge they are formally taught, who can, through their intellectual curiosity and professional skills, identify and find out the correct solutions to problems, last but not least, who know that learning is a life long process in which they must take part permanently.

The steps that our faculty is resolved to take so as to achieve the above mentioned goals are

• to provide our students with a good theoretical background in terms of curricula continually updated to the world standards and support the eduacational activities by organizing visits to the regional firms and inviting experienced guest lecturers or experts therefrom to our classes,

• to hold periodical meetings with the students to exchange information about their complaints and demands as well as the future plans of the administration, and thus to strengthen the students’ sense of belonging to our school,

• to set the grounds and the means for enabling the students to gain the additional practical qualifications that are required in real life by organizing certificate courses geared towards the needs of the business world in cooperation with the experts from the field,

• to encourage the students to participate in the clubs for social activities and to give them every support within our capacity, believing that sharing both responsibility and success in teamwork awards them with self confidence and this, in turn, facilitates their adaptation to the business world, and
