Answering questions from prospective students during the live broadcast, Rector Prof. Dr. Burhan Aykaç provided information on many topics from the university's international accreditations to the steps they took during the Covid-19 outbreak.
 
“60 INTERBATIONALLY ACCREDITED PROGRAM”
 
Stating that they are included in the accreditation evaluations with their own wishes by applying to German, British and American accreditation organizations, Aykaç said: “As a result of the evaluation, our 60 programs are accredited and our university became Turkey’s the most internationally accredited university. We attach importance to internationalization. We prepare course programs with international quality and standards. We work with faculty members who look forward to the future and add value to the country and the university. Our university is one of the leading universities of Turkey with the quality of faculty members. Everyone wants to be a faculty member in internationally accredited programs.”
 
“PAY ATTENTION TO ACCREDITATION WHEN MAKING PREFERENCE”

Emphasizing that graduates from a program with international accreditation will have an internationally valid diploma, Aykaç said: “Prospective students can find which program of the universities in Turkey is accredited in the guidance booklets. It is the point that they should pay attention to when choosing. I recommend them to visit our university. Those who cannot come due to the epidemic can review the related programs on our website and watch our promotional films. They can contact faculty members of the programs of their choice.”

“THERE WILL BE 60 DENSTISTRY STUDENTS”

Stating that Dentistry Faculties will receive students for the first time this year, Aykaç said: “On 7 October, we will have 60 dentistry students. As we are a young university, our laboratories are both new and equipped with the latest technology. We have established Turkey's best dental faculties. We want to enrich our university with the faculties of medicine, law and education in the coming years.”
 

Stating that they have used all the authority that YÖK gave to universities on 11 March, Aykaç said, “We have prioritized the health of our students and staff. We set a record in passing distance education in Turkey, shifting 26 thousand students to a distance education in a week. We became the fastest university in the distance education process.”

“YOU’LL SAY: FORTUNATELY!”

Expressing that they plan to give their students 40% of distance education if they wish in the new academic year, Aykaç advised the prospective students who are going to take the exam not to worry at all. Aykaç finished as follows: “Don't be excited. Focus on the exam. Don't be pessimistic. When you choose Istanbul Gelisim University, you will say ‘fortunately’ instead of ‘I wish’.”
