The competitive environment of today, which was perhaps your greatest source of motivation during your studentship, enters into a new dimension with the university life. In addition to the qualifications you have, your competency in utilizing these qualifications will also be effective in achieving your goals. One of the most important qualifications you will need in professional and academic competition is, without a doubt, the knowledge of foreign language. The foreign language requirement, which is summarized as 'Being able to speak at least one foreign language ...', has become inevitable for every individual, albeit for different goals and at various levels.

It is an undeniable fact that every language learned will provide the individual with new horizons, a new world of thought and communication possibilities. Experienced and expert academic staff at our school, learning environments with interaction-based technological equipment and social, cultural and academic activities will be your greatest assistant in your professional development process. Undoubtedly, your serious, sincere and enthusiastic self-study will enrich and color your professional experience and ensure that you are among the sought-for people in your field.

Hoping to witness your high achievements, we wish to meet you all as soon as possible.
