Degrees for Education

The Faculty of Education was established in academic year 1997/98 under the name of “Faculty of Humanities.”

The Faculty was organised in two programmes as “English Language & Literature Teaching” and “Turkish Language & Literature Teaching” designed for teacher education in language and literature to meet the demand for teachers in Turkey and the TRNC.

Since the beginning of academic year 1998/99, the Faculty has concentrated fully on teacher education and accepted the programmes designed and developed by the committees established for the National Education Development Project under the coordination of the Higher Education Council in Turkey (YÖK) the World Bank, and the Turkish Ministry of Education.

One year later, at the beginning of academic year 1999/00, the Faculty changed its name to “Faculty of Education”. Starting in the academic year 20/01, the Faculty of Education is offering teacher training programmes in its three departments (English Language Teaching, Turkish Language & Literature Teaching, and Computer and Instructional Technologies Teaching).

The overall institutional objective of the faculty is that graduates will have teaching competencies in their particular fields by being furnished with the general and specific knowledge, methods, techniques and skills of modern teaching to fit the scientific and technical development of the world in the third millennium.
