Applications Open for the 16th School of Politics Certificate Program

The School of Politics program, organized by the Bahçeşehir University School of Government and Leadership as a first in Türkiye in terms of its name, format and content, is held regularly every academic year. Having hosted many people who form the decision-making mechanism of the country's administration, such as presidents, prime ministers, ministers, ambassadors and members of parliament, the School of Politics has raised its own bar every academic year thanks to the support of its distinguished guests and the interest of its participants.

The aim of the School of Politics program is to equip today's and tomorrow's leadership candidates with objective information and data so that they can adapt to the changing profile of politics and politicians in a globalizing world. In the program, important events and periods in Türkiye's history up to the present are conveyed not only theoretically, but also through the cause-and-effect relationships of events, by politicians, academics, diplomats, economists, scientists and business people who were directly involved in them.

The School of Politics certificate program is held on Saturdays for 15 weeks every academic year. The language of the program is Turkish. The program takes place every Saturday between 10:00 and 16:45. Held each week in four separate sessions of one hour and fifteen minutes, each session of the program ends with a Q&A section. To be eligible for the certificate, participants must attend 80% of the program.

In the School of Politics, a long-term program, many important political issues of Türkiye are evaluated in the context of events and processes from the past to the present.
