The primary objective of the Political Science and International Relations (Turkish) Program is to educate graduates who possess advanced analytical and critical thinking skills, a strong sense of ethical responsibility, comprehensive knowledge of contemporary theoretical and practical debates in political science and international relations, and the ability to use digital technologies effectively. In line with this objective, the program is supported by physical facilities planned to enhance educational goals and learning outcomes, a robust technological infrastructure, and rich learning resources.
Within the program, certain courses aimed at developing general competencies utilize shared infrastructure with other programs within the faculty and the university, enabling students to benefit from a wide range of academic and technical support opportunities. Central Computer Laboratories, equipped with up-to-date software and high hardware capacity, are actively used particularly for practice-oriented courses. Classrooms used for foreign-language-supported courses are furnished with modern educational technologies that promote listening, speaking, and interactive learning.
The University Library provides access to current printed and digital academic resources in relevant fields, particularly political science, international relations, history, and law. Study halls, quiet study areas, and accessible physical and digital workspaces across the campus support students' individual and group study activities. The online reservation system for group study rooms and computer-use areas within the IAU Information Center contributes to the establishment of a planned and efficient study environment.
All classrooms used in the program are equipped with smart lectern infrastructure, including internet-connected touchscreen computers, integrated sound systems, and high-resolution projection devices. These systems, operating in integration with smart board applications, enable the effective digital delivery of course content, support hybrid teaching practices, and facilitate the sharing of course materials with students. In addition, classrooms featuring climate control systems and substantial access to natural light provide a comfortable and conducive learning environment that supports the overall educational process.
