Basic Approach

Our aim is to provide our students with information about the discipline of history, research methods and literature on the one hand, and on the other hand to increase their intellectual accumulation and to educate them as individuals who can think historically, but also evaluate current socio-political and cultural developments. One of the main goals of our department is to train future historians and educators, as well as to enable students to continue their graduate studies in other fields of social sciences with the equipment they have gained.

Education

Our department, which considers the discipline of history in its pioneering and central position within the social sciences and deals with it with an interdisciplinary and comparative approach, provides education mainly in the fields of Ottoman and Turkish History. However, courses on the History of Europe, the Balkans, the Middle East and Central Asia are also included in the curriculum.

Opportunities Awaiting Our Graduates

Our graduates will be able to teach history after taking pedagogical formation courses. In addition, with the academic/intellectual accumulation and foreign language knowledge provided by the department programme, they will be able to work in different fields other than historical research, and they will be able to be employed in the Ottoman archives and other public institutions as well as in the private sector.
