“The strong interest shown in our University’s Article-46 (Additional) Program is a clear indication of both our academic strength and our vision for national and international collaboration. Within this framework, academics who have joined BEUN under the Article-46 (Additional) Program across a wide range of disciplines—from medicine and dentistry to natural sciences, tourism, and health sciences—make significant contributions to the prominence of an international academic culture at our University. As BEUN, we attach great importance to bringing our students together with academics who are experts in their fields and have international experience. Thanks to such academic collaborations, our students have the opportunity to engage with diverse cultural and scientific perspectives; they are educated not only with theoretical knowledge but also with a strong research culture, clinical experience, and an innovative scientific approach.
Bringing our students together with academics who have international recognition in their fields makes a major contribution to both their academic and professional development. With these thoughts and feelings, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our President of the Council of Higher Education (CoHE), Prof. Dr. Erol Özvar, and the esteemed CoHE family for their continuous support throughout this process. I would also like to wholeheartedly thank the distinguished academics who have joined our University for their valuable contributions and wish our dear students every success. As BEUN, we will continue with determination to further strengthen quality in education and research through national and international collaborations.”
