Philosophy and Objectives

 

The 21st century will be shaped by well-qualified individuals. Meeting the challenges and opportunities of a global world in the light of Atatürk’s principles and revolutions will require versatile competence and responsibility. Those who succeed in this world will have a high social and academic background in order to share and contribute. Büyük Kolej is an institution where such individuals are educated.

  • Be an exemplary institution where world standards in bilingual education are met within an international approach,

  • Have an effective learning environment where student-centered education is administered considering the individual differences,
  •  
  • Maintain an optimal size of faculty and students in order to create public awareness, foster mutual understanding and actualize individual learning.
  •  
  • Develop Büyük Kolej faculty and students who have technological literacy, environmental awareness, high moral values and respect for peace.

 

Büyük Kolej will not discriminate amongst races, colors, sexes, religions, disabilities, national or ethnic origins in the administration of its education, admission and scholarship policies, athletic and other academic programs.   Büyük Kolej practices a full equality policy.
