Dear Students,
Welcome to the Faculty of Education at Hasan Kalyoncu University. Our Faculty’s goal is to train the education leaders and teachers of the future in the best possible way. Our vision is to be an innovative and leading center for education and science that is recognized, preferred, and referenced for its programs, practices, and values. Our mission is to train teachers who are sensitive to environmental and social issues, see and respect differences as richness, are proficient in theory and practice, self-confident, tolerant, inquisitive, entrepreneurial, virtuous, and fluent in at least one foreign language.
Our Faculty of Education admitted its first students in the 2011-2012 academic year. In the 2024-2025 academic year, we offer undergraduate programs in English Language Teaching, Preschool Education, Special Education, Guidance and Psychological Counseling, and Primary School Teaching, all of which are accredited by the Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Teacher Education Programs (EPDAD). In addition to our undergraduate programs, we offer six thesis and six non-thesis master’s programs and three doctoral programs. We provide the opportunity for graduates who finish at the top of their class to continue their education with a free master’s program. Our faculty offers academic and social opportunities to support the professional and personal social development of our students. Throughout the year, various scientific activities such as sports, art, and literature events, symposia, conferences, and panels are organized by our application and research centers and student clubs under the guidance of our faculty members, providing different learning environments for our students. Our students are encouraged to participate in international exchange programs like ERASMUS with partner countries.
Hasan Kalyoncu University ranks above the Turkish median and in the top region according to the TÜBİTAK (2020, 2023) University Competence Analysis Report for Social and Human Sciences-Education in terms of both quality and volume criteria. Our Faculty of Education has 43 expert and experienced faculty members. The inputs, processes, outputs, and impacts of education at our faculty are monitored and evaluated based on a research-based approach in light of national and international scientific developments. In this context, the opinions of internal and external stakeholders are used as fundamental inputs to develop the system’s elements.
As the Faculty of Education, we are with each of our students on their educational journey. It is a great honor for us to guide and support you throughout your academic life. We look forward to seeing you in our faculty and achieving great things together. We wish you a future illuminated by the light of education.
