Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences at Istinye University, we are committed to educating qualified individuals who will shape the future, guided by an educational approach focused on health, technology, and research & development (R&D)—all of which lie at the heart of global transformation.
Today, universities have evolved beyond being mere institutions that transfer knowledge; they have become strategic actors that produce, transform, and disseminate knowledge to society. Aware of this transformation, our faculty operates with a vision that fosters strong collaborations with industry and the business world, plays an active role in national and international research projects, and promotes global experience through student exchange programs.
Our next-generation educational modules are designed to provide students not only with theoretical knowledge but also with hands-on experience in the field. Within this framework, workplace practices, internships, and field projects introduce our students to professional life even before graduation, shaping them into solution-oriented, creative individuals who are committed to sustainable and ethical values.
Through our programs in fields such as business administration, economics, political science, international relations, international trade and business, health management, and management information systems, we aim to foster multidisciplinary thinking, effective use of technology, and sensitivity to sustainable development goals. We strive to cultivate entrepreneurial professionals—not only to meet the qualified workforce needs of the business world but to surpass them.
Our curricula are constantly developed and updated in alignment with the dynamics of the business world through branded courses taught by leading professionals from national and international companies, and through our active advisory boards composed of prominent academics, business owners, and senior executives. In addition, our students expand their areas of expertise through double major and minor programs, while enhancing their international experience via exchange programs abroad.
We invite you to discover the opportunities offered by our faculty, which supports both academic and personal development. We look forward to moving forward together on this journey centered around scientific productivity, social contribution, and a global perspective.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Figen Yıldırım
