THEOLOGY DEPARTMENT
Tuition Fee
Students do not pay tuition fees in the first education programs.
Education and Training Model
Our faculty continues its education and training activities at the undergraduate level for 4 years. Foreign language (preparatory) education has started to be given as of the 2023-2024 academic year. All students who will register for our Faculty for the first time are required to take preparatory education. The language of instruction of our faculty is 30% Arabic. In addition to the education given in theology and religious sciences, Pedagogical Formation Education, which enables our students to perform teaching duties in institutions affiliated with the Ministry of National Education after graduation, is also given within the undergraduate period.
Students receive theoretical education in the first three years of their undergraduate education, and in the last year, they receive practical training with the aim of gaining practical experience in addition to theoretical education, both in professions related to theology and religious sciences and within the scope of Pedagogical Formation Education. In this context, they do internships within the scope of the Preaching Vocational Practice course in institutions such as mosques, Quran courses, prisons, hospitals in the VII. semester, and within the scope of the Teaching Practice course in MEB institutions in the VIII. semester. In this way, students have the opportunity to further develop their knowledge and skills by reinforcing the knowledge and experiences they gained during theoretical education with practical training they do in public institutions and organizations.
