INFORMATION ABOUT

CANAKKALE ONSEKIZ MART UNIVERSITY


Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University was founded in 1992 based upon the Faculty of Education at the Anafartalar Campus. Before this, the facilities had housed a Teacher Training Institute, then a branch of Trakya University. With its new status and intake from Turkey's large youth population, the university developed quickly in terms of the number of students, staff, and facilities, spurring the opening of new faculties and colleges.

The university has expanded rapidly over the last few years and currently has over 22,000 students participating in a wide variety of programmes taught by close to a thousand academic staff in 2 graduate schools, 9 faculties, 5 polytechnic colleges (four year programmes) and 11 vocational colleges (two-year programmes). There are several campuses in Çanakkale itself and some of the academic units are located in other towns of the province.

In the twenty-first century, Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University aims to be a modern university carrying out scholarly research and providing regional, national and international dimensions to training in all its educational programmes, while taking into account the resources of the area in which it is situated.

In order to attain its goals, the university follows a path of democracy and secularism, with a belief in the authority of the law and the positive scientific principles established by Ataturk. We are aware of our responsibility to be sensitive to domestic and global concerns, to work for peace, to be creative and productive, and to participate in society at all levels.

In order to attain the university's educational, scientific, cultural, and social goals, the university has recently introduced a new marking and assessment system, updated the contents of courses, introduced new programmes, increased facilities for foreign languages and computer training, and modernised and extended the library.

Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University is making speedy progress towards becoming a dynamic, progressive, modern university of international standards.
