History
|
Our department has been established in 1994 following the approval of the Higher Education Council in 1992. The Graduate Program (M.A. in International Relations) was started in 1997-1998 academic year. Following this, in 1999-2000, we began accepting our first undergraduate students. The curriculum is established on three basic fields of academic studies: International Relations (Theory and Politics), International Law, and Political History Curriculums of both the graduate and undergraduate programs have been established basically on these three pillars. The undergraduate program is organized to provide the students with the capacity to understand, analyze and interpret the main international problems and contemporary international developments. Students are provided with the necessary knowledge of international law, political history and IR Theories that could be employed in the analysis of these problems and developments. The undergraduate program follows up scientific literature and other contemporary sources produced in the field of International Relations, and aims to employ these scientific data and theoretical approaches that are obtained through these literature and sources, in order to make research on the global and regional issues. In such scientific inquiries individuals or the department as a team takes responsibilities, and students are highly encouraged not only to participate in these researches but also to conduct similar practices by their own. While researching the students use advanced English, second foreign language at the intermediate level and employ computer technologies. While evaluating acquired knowledge the students attach importance to critical approach. All these procedures are being conducted compatibly with social, scientific and moral norms.
