BAŞKENT UNIVERSITY www.baskent.edu.tr 1 Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK 1 Prof. Dr. Mehmet HABERAL 2 Founding President of Başkent University 9th President of Turkish Republic, Süleyman DEMİREL 2009-2010 Graduation Ceremony 3 Professor Mehmet Haberal describes how Başkent University received its name “THEN, IT IS BAŞKENT” İsmet Sezgin, the Minister of Internal Affairs at the time, had been diagnosed with a kidney stone and scheduled for surgery at the Gülhane Military Medical Academy Hospital. It was May 4, 1993. Together with my mentor Professor İhsan Doğramacı, we went to the Gülhane Military Medical Academy Hospital to accompany Minister İsmet Sezgin during his surgery. 4 The operation went on smoothly, without any complications. Afterwards, Professor Doğramacı and I started talking about current health issues in the country and possible solutions when suddenly he said: “Why don’t you establish a new university?” His comment caught me by surprise. The idea of establishing a new university had been on my mind for a long time, and I had started working on the project. I told Professor Doğramacı that the paper work had almost been done and completed; I was ready to submit the file for application. As we were walking to his car, he said: “Let’s go to my office.” As a surgeon, as a man of science, and as a citizen of the Turkish Republic, it is my primary duty to express my gratitude to Professor Doğramacı and honour the memory of this great man, not only because, by establishing Hacettepe University back in 1967, he had accomplished a significant breakthrough in the field of medicine in Turkey and, by establishing Bilkent University in 1986, led the path for the “Sir, I would like you to name my new university,” I said to Professor Doğramacı. That was the very day Başkent University got its name. We went to Professor Doğramacı’s office in the Bilkent University Library. He immediately summoned the University’s legal adviser and asked her to prepare the documents needed for the establishment of a foundation university. Then he turned to me and asked another question: “What is the name going to be?” When I told him that I hadn’t thought of a name yet, he suggested the name “Haberal”. I remember responding to it without hesitation: “Sir, why doesn’t Bilkent University bear the name ‘Doğramacı’?” Without waiting for his answer, I added: “Whatever name you see fit will be the name of my university.” Professor Doğramacı thought for a while and then said: “Then, it is ‘Başkent’.” foundation universities in the country, but also because he gave Başkent University its name and, more importantly, contributed greatly to the recognition of our country in international platforms.

Prof. Dr. Mehmet Haberal, our founding President, once in a while used to regurgitate troubles and difficulties encountered while vitalizing the barren land. However, he used to share out with great pleasure the created work during the graduation ceremony called “render account” days. Because the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences is one of the early establishments of Bağlıca Campus, special attention is given then. Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Academic Staff 46 With its educational programs and curriculum and also with the emphasis placed on foreign language, our Faculty served as a “source of inspiration” to the other faculties that were established later. The Faculty that started enrollment in 1995 now has five departments, namely: Management, Economics, Political Science and International Relations, Tourism Management, Technology and Knowledge Management. The medium of instruction is in Turkish. However, it is one of our prime objectives to teach our students a FACULTY OF ECONOMICS AND ADMINISTRATIVE SCIENCES foreign language since our establishment. By offering Professional English courses that are available in our curriculum and by using course materials in English, we ensure our graduates to have good command of English. Although the date of our first graduates is quite recent, they are among the top rank in Civil Servants Language Exam. The main objective of our Faculty is to prepare students for the global community of the future by equipping them with qualitative and quantitative techniques. There is no doubt Turkey will have a great need to those young people who are faithful to the principles and revolutions of Atatürk. Our Faculty also makes important contributions to postgraduate education by taking part in the design and implementation of master and doctorate programs that are successfully carried on within the University. Our students have the option to continue their education in foreign universities based on the prevailing agreements. Thus they are enabled to fit the global environment and make acquaintance with other cultures.

We strive for educating our students as creative and innovative engineers, who are capable of embracing the place and importance of engineering in human life, environment, and technology with complete respect to human mind. Furthermore, our programs focus on developing characters with the motivation and ability to question, investigate, and research. Based on the fundamental principle of Başkent University; “Science accumulates here and disseminates from here,” our objective is to contribute to the elevation of the technological, socio-economical, and cultural level of the society, to improve human health, and to spread social services by means of training-education, research, development, and scientific dissemination activities. Education at the Faculty started with the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering in the 1996-97 academic year and kept expanding with the opening of Computer Engineering and Industrial Engineering Departments in 1998-99 and 1998-99 academic years, respectively. Our Faculty, which continually bases its development on rational principles, launched Turkey’s first Biomedical Engineering Department in the 200001 academic year, with the foresighted proposal of Prof. Dr. Mehmet Haberal, the founder and the founding president of Başkent University. Finally, the 54 Department of Mechanical Engineering was opened in the 2003-04 academic year. As a requirement of the Başkent University policy of steady improvement, academic programs of its departments are updated according to the criteria of the national and international accreditation boards. Besides basic sciences, general engineering, and profession-specific courses, social sciences, and fine arts courses are also offered in every engineering program, each semester. Theoretical engineering courses are supported with applications and experiments, which are interactively carried out in small-groups in modern laboratories, under the supervision of experienced teaching staff. Teaching staff of the Faculty carry out both theoretical and research projects with national and international institutions, in particular cooperation with the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) and the Turkish Ministry of Industry, and they pay due importance to university-industry relations. This experience and the know-how pool are shared with our students in the educational activities in order to prepare them to real-life problems. The entire staff of our Faculty pays utmost care to student advisory and strives for supporting education and social life of every student. ‘English FACULTY OF ENGINEERING Preparatory’ principle of the Başkent University applies to all programs of the Faculty in the undergraduate curricula. Each student graduates with sufficient knowledge of English in his/her field of profession. In order to relate theory with practice our students have to fulfill two summer internships Faculty of Engineering Academic Staff for 40 workdays after the 4th and 6th semesters. In their senior year, every student in their 7th and 8th semesters carries out a senior graduation project under the supervision of a dedicated faculty staff. Our students during the course of their projects perform their research particularly through a concerted full 55 FACULTY OF ENGINEERING exposure to the industry-university collaboration, usually on a leading-edge technology platform and knowledge base, which gets them prepared to the real work environment. Some of the senior graduation projects are realized with international collaboration among universities and are supported through grants from TUBİTAK. Completed projects are presented to the industry at an exhibition at the end of semester. Başkent University has launched another primordial, namely to financially support senior graduate projects at national and international meetings. In the past, participating student groups have won first and second places, success awards and represented our university and country successfully. Our students can benefit from the Erasmus program, which enables the exchange of students and academic staff among the universities of European Union member countries, during regular or summer semesters, and they can gain foreign experience during their university education. In addition, Master of Science Programs in Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Quality Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, and Doctorate Program in Electric-Electronics Engineering are carried out by the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences of Başkent University for a graduate degree. 56 Engineering Faculty of Başkent University continues to educate its students to serve important roles in the development of our country as engineers who generate rather than transferring technology, has over 1500 graduates who have established their own businesses as entrepreneurs and are highly recognized in public and private sectors.

Educational programs or the departments in the Faculty of Commercial Sciences are all 4 year undergraduate programs. The academic content of the programs is prepared according to the expectations of the targeted economic sectors. The educational programs of the 90 departments of Banking, Accounting and Financial Management, Insurance and Risk Management, International Trade, and Management and Information Systems are conducted in close cooperation and co-ordination by all the departments. Having completed successfully a common program module for two academic years, all students follow their own core program modules. Meanwhile, the students in the Department of Tourism and Hotel Management also take some essential courses from the common module which is spread over the academic years. Faculty of Commercial Sciences Academic Staff FACULTY OF COMMERCIAL SCIENCES All educational programs are also supported by the summer internship and on-the-job training programs which are compulsory and carried out by the co-operation of both the university and related economic sectors. Learning foreign languages and using computers as well as computer based instructional technologies, which have important roles in raising the personnel of the information age, are the core components of all programs. The instruction in the Faculty of Commercial Sciences is in Turkish. However, every student has to be able to follow any course module that is thought in English as well as to use instructional sources in English if necessary. Therefore, students are required to pass an English proficiency exam. Otherwise they have to complete a one year English preparatory program. Additionally, in order to use English effectively in their professional life, students are required to pass the compulsory English Language courses that take place in the four-year educational programs.

Therefore, The Institute of Educational Sciences was established in 2002-2003 academic year by admitting students to the Secondary Education Field Teaching MA without Thesis Programme in order to train teachers for the secondary schools in different subject areas. Since then, 2700 teacher candidates have graduated in the fields of Turkish Language and Literature, History, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology from our Institute. Moreover, Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with/without Thesis Programmes and Masters in Educational Administration and Supervision With/ Without Thesis Programmes have been offered in order to train the necessary educational workforce for the Ministry of National Education and other educational organizations, and to train academicians for universities. In addition, post-graduate courses are offered by Elementary Mathematics Education Program, Early Childhood Education Program, Science Education, Turkish Language Education Program, English Language Education Programme and Computer Education and Instructional Technology Program. Başkent University, Institute of Educational Sciences utilizes all of its resources to train the most qualified educators who are loyal to Atatürk’s Principles and Reforms, who are constructive and creative, who can implement the recent technology and scientific approaches considering the needs of the nation, who are devoted to the Republican ideals and can represent our country and the university in national and international scientific arena.

Currently, the enlarged EU is going through a process of metamorphosis. Hence one of the determinants of the Turkish foreign policy, the Western alliance, is taking up new characteristics. On the other hand, the Turkish foreign policy seems to be going through a process of transformation with its regional leadership claims and initiatives that emphasize Turkey’s bridge position between Asia and Europe. In a context in which the traditional distinctions between domestic and international politics are blurred, power blocks and polarized alliances have expired, and the impact of multi-dimensional interdependencies is increasingly felt, both of these transformations call for an understanding and evaluation from a social science perspective. Başkent University, European Union and International Relations Institute was established to produce and disseminate knowledge about the legal, political, economic and cultural aspects of the European integration model. With its MA degree in European Union program, the Institute aims at educating visionary, active, dynamic and up-todate experts needed for producing a foreign policy congruent with the changes and transformations in the international sphere, and for facilitating the adoption and protecting the interests of Turkey in the process of integration with the EU. To this end, a rich programme of courses studying the current state and historical development of the EU as well as the various aspects of the EU-Turkey relations is offered by experienced and specialist faculty in three semesters.

The mission of the Institute is to benefit the community through programs of research, education, and professional practice that address the health and health care needs of the community. IHS intends to achieve this mission by creating a vibrant research culture that provides staff with the support and facilities required for the efficient conduct of research into the need for, access to and delivery of healthcare.All programs are planned to train students who are sensitive to human and health problems, accept the professional ethical standards and abide by them, possess critical thinking skills and continuous lifelong learning conscious, carry a leadership role, detect problems and create solutions for them. All curricula are varied and flexible. Based on the principles of adult learning, interactive methods will predominate. All programs will use a combination of readings, case studies, seminars, research projects, discussion groups, lectures, and clinical studies. The Institute has collaborations with other universities and research institutions within the country as well as with Europe and the United States.

The decision to pursue postgraduate studies is an exciting and challenging journey. Some of the learning outcomes of a graduate level study can be listed as follows: • An ability to conduct independent research and development activities. • An ability to promote and disseminate knowledge based on research and development activities. • An ability to provide leadership in multi-functional project teams. • An understanding of the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context. • A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning. Master’s education is a substantial, dynamic and important part of graduate education, which through its responsiveness to societal needs for advanced education, plays a continuing and prominent role in the training of the professional workforce. The Doctor of Philosophy program is designed to prepare a student to become a scholar who discovers, integrates and applies knowledge, as well as communicates and disseminates it. The program emphasizes the development of the student’s capacity to make significant original contributions to knowledge in a context of freedom, inquiry and expression. Graduate education is obviously quite different from undergraduate education. While undergraduate degrees essentially provide an “overview” of a wide variety of fields of academic research; graduate degrees focus on fairly specific areas of study, usually derived from topics studied during an undergraduate degree. The Institute of Science and Engineering started its education in 1996, firstly with the master program in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Master program in Computer Engineering (1997), master program in Industrial Engineering (1998), doctorate program in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (1998), master program in Information Technologies and System Management (2004), master program in Biomedical Engineering (2004), master program in Quality Engineering (2006), master program in Mechanical Engineering (2007) and master program in Energy Engineering (2008) followed this.

Since then, our MBA program has remained as one of the most popular, most prestigious programs our Institute offers. Over the years we have been very selective with planning and opening new programs. We have carefully studied the demands of related sectors in order to offer the most appropriate graduate programs to candidates. Our second program in the field of Health Care Management (M.Sc) was started in 1996-1997 academic year, and until 2000-2001 academic year no further programs were launched by our Institute. 2000-2001 academic year was a turning point for the Institute of Social Sciences with its new programs in the fields of American Culture and Literature (MA), Civil Law(MA), Public Law (MA), Economics (M.Sc) and Management and Organizations (Ph.D). Musicology (MA), Performance (MA), and Composition (MA) programs were launched in 20032004 academic year. In 2004-2005 academic year, The Law of Economics (MA), Atatürk’s Principles and The History of Turkish Revolution (MA), and Accounting and Finance (Ph.D) programs were started. The above programs were followed by accounting and Finance (M.Sc) in 2006; Banking and Finance (M.Sc), Classical Archaeology (MA), and Public Relations and Publicity (MA) in 2007; News Speaking and television Presenting (MA), Reporting (MA), and Television Directing (MA) in 2008. The Institute of Social Sciences offers 20 graduate programs altogether and its number of graduates has reached 640 over the years. The Institute has based its philosophy of education on high quality strategies and has formed its teaching staff with well-known academicians in their fields of study. That is one of the many reasons that make our programs unique and distinguished. The programs offered by our Institute are subject to continuous development and improvement.

One of the main aims of Başkent University is to educate a generation of dynamic and successful researchers and business people who can communicate with the outside world. In order to achieve this, the university International Relations Coordination Office has made English a compulsory language to learn for all students throughout their education. The Department offers both Intensive English Programs and English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses applicable to each academic or vocational program. Newly arriving students are required to take a Proficiency Test at the beginning of the academic year. According to their exam results, students are either placed in a year of Intensive English program (Preparatory class) or permitted to pass directly into their freshman year where they take an ESP course. Departmental English Courses offered are all compulsory credit-courses. They are designed specifically to meet the language needs of each department, thus the focus is on English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) with a high degree of input in General English. Prof. Himmet Umunç Head of English Language Department The International Relations Coordination Office is in charge of the development and implementation of European and trans-national university agreements and projects and has been continuing its work since its establishment in 2003. With the completion of one of the European Education and Youth Programs, Socrates in 2007, a new phase has been launched under the name Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP). LLP enables people at all stages of their lives to take part in stimulating learning experiences, as well as helping to develop the education and training sector across Europe. Başkent University is among the higher education institutions which have been awarded the Extended Erasmus University Charter by the European Commission to participate in LLP in the period 20072013. As a EUC holder, Başkent University is able to offer its students the opportunity to spend one or two semesters in Europe studying or participating in an internship programme. Within the framework of Erasmus Programme, Başkent University has signed a total of 115 agreements with 23 EU countries in 38 different areas. 123 Academic Assessment Coordination Office The Academic Assessment Coordination Office works in coordination with the “Commission of Academic Evaluation and Quality Development”, which was formed in accordance with the Turkish Higher Education Regulations.
