We are pleased to announce that we have begun the 2025-2026 academic year together at our Faculty of Sports Sciences, established in 2018 at Istanbul Aydın University. Our faculty offers

undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes to train teachers, sports specialists, sports scientists, and academics in the field of Physical Education and Sports.

Today, it is widely recognised that participation rates in physical activity are insufficient both in our country and worldwide, leading to significant health issues. In this context, our Faculty aims to cultivate well-rounded human resources capable of serving humanity in their field. Our students, through their education here, will play a crucial role in fostering high-quality, healthy societies and advancing Turkish sports.

Our students' education is supported by our Faculty's strong academic staff, our university's advanced physical facilities, and the support given to sports sciences, as well as scientific events such as conferences, panels, and symposiums.

On this occasion, I would like to welcome our new students and wish everyone health, peace, and success in the 2025-2026 academic year.

Yours sincerely.
