Bahçeşehir University (BAU) has opened a "Turkish Language and History Research Center" in Casablanca as part of its cooperation with Mundiapolis University (MU) of Morocco.

BAU, which has opened campuses and centers in many parts of the world with its "My Campus is the World" approach, opened the "Turkish Language and History Research Center" in Casablanca, Morocco, as a result of its cooperation with Mundiapolis University. Through its activities, the center will promote Turkish culture and language, encourage research in areas of common and mutual interest, offer Turkish language courses, serve as a liaison center for members of the local population who wish to build ties with Türkiye, ensure the continued development of higher education cooperation between Morocco and Türkiye, and organize cultural events.

"WE WILL MAKE IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO WORLD PEACE"

Speaking at the opening ceremony held at Mundiapolis University in Casablanca on 26 April 2013, Bahçeşehir University President Prof. Dr. Şenay Yalçın noted that, with the developments and changes in education in recent years, it has become essential for young university graduates to be equipped to work anywhere in the world. Yalçın said: "Since our founding, we at BAU have placed international activities at the top of our agenda. With our slogan 'My Campus is the World', we have taken on a pioneering role in this field by establishing academic centers and campuses across a wide geography from the USA to Japan. In this context, we are now justly proud to open another important center in Morocco. Like our other centers, the center we are opening today will further strengthen the ties between the two countries, serve as a bridge and pave the way for new collaborations. Moreover, with the opportunities it will offer to researchers and students coming not only from Türkiye and Morocco but from many different countries around the world, our new center will become a sought-after international platform and make important contributions to world peace."
