Dear Students,

The business world's dynamics are being affected by the world's rapid transformation. Given all of these changes, it is now essential that business school be presented from an innovative and forward-thinking perspective.

Our curriculum is designed to give our students the tools they need to be competitive across many industries and succeed in a range of business professions. In this regard, our department offers both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to develop proactive, curious, innovative, and responsible future managers, business professionals, and entrepreneurs who are capable of meeting the demands of the national and international markets in an increasingly globalized and digitalized world. With our creative, and committed academic staff who are knowledgeable in a variety of subjects and capable of giving our students the education they need,  we aim to develop skilled student.

Gaining a global perspective and cultural knowledge is important to us as the Department of Business Administration. With the goal to do this, our department, which offers 30% of the curriculum in English, also offers English classes that provide content that students may apply to their academic and professional lives. Furthermore, to broaden their perspective on the world, we provide the chance to spend a specific amount of time studying abroad at institutions around the world through the Erasmus, Farabi, and Mevlana Exchange Programs.

Encouraging our students to engage with businesses is another priority for our department. Our department, which is part of the sector thanks to partnerships with Industry and Technopark, offers students a variety of sectoral and entrepreneurial courses  to help them develop the vital skills needed to identify and evaluate business possibilities and launch their own ventures. With our curriculum's compulsory 14-week internship program, we also give them an opportunity to make an impact out and develop as individuals by integrating them into the business world.

You are not only starting your professional route as a student in the Department of Business Administration, but you are also beginning on a journey that will have a lasting impact on the business world. We are delighted to guide you on your journey.

I wish you every success and hope that it will be an pleasant and progressive experience during your time at GTU.

Sincerely,

Professor and Head of Department
