Prof. Dr. Dursun KÖSE

Dear Students,

We are very pleased to welcome you to our school. Before starting your university education, you will be our guest for one year. During this time, we hope that the time you spend together will be productive and instructive, and that the knowledge and skills you gain here will bring new perspectives to your life. As the academic and administrative staff, we will continue to strive to provide you with the best service.

Today, I think we all agree that learning a foreign language is not a choice but a necessity. It is clear that knowing a foreign language will put you in an advantageous position at every stage of your career, beyond contributing to your personal development. Many sectors prioritize professionals who know a foreign language over those who do not. Especially in fields such as technology, commerce, tourism, and education, foreign language knowledge is among the most sought-after qualifications. Additionally, knowing a foreign language not only contributes to your intellectual development but also offers additional benefits such as ease in travel, access to different cultures, and the ability to reach resources written in foreign languages. 

You are in the right place to achieve all of this. I wish you all a successful and productive academic year.

Prof. Dr. Dursun KÖSE
