School of Politics 6

School of Politics 6

The School of Politics certificate program, organized by Bahçeşehir University School of Government and Leadership as a first in Türkiye in terms of its name, format and content, is celebrating its sixth year, has become a classic of our department and continues with great success. Held on Saturdays for approximately 15 weeks each year, this certificate program aims to equip today's and tomorrow's leadership candidates with objective knowledge and data so they can adapt to the changing profile of politics and politicians in a globalizing world.

The intended outcome of this program is not to create politicians, but to inform participants interested in politics at the highest level and contribute to their skills by revealing Türkiye's economic, cultural, political and diplomatic realities. The goal is to convey the important events and periods Türkiye has experienced from the past to the present not only theoretically, but through the cause-and-effect relationships of events as told by politicians, academics, diplomats, economists, scientists, military officers, business people and artists who were directly involved in them.

The content of the School of Politics certificate program can be listed under the following topics:

• Security Policy and Strategy
• Democratization
• Media and Politics
• Foreign Policy
• Women and Youth
• Leadership
• The EU and Türkiye
• Türkiye - Greece - Cyprus
• Culture and Arts Policies
• Organization
• Local Governments
• Religion, State and Secularism
• Business and Politics
• Economy and Finance
