The University Leading the Professions of the Future with Its Deep-Rooted History
Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University, one of the most well-established universities in Türkiye with its roots going back to 1924 and its academic background, has a strong position among higher education institutions with its nearly 30,000 students, nearly 123,000 graduates, 16 faculties, 9 vocational schools, 3 schools, 1 state conservatory, and 34 application and research centers. Prospective students are also informed about the new departments meeting the needs of digital transformation and academic opportunities for future professions as well as the current departments. As part of the university preference counseling, students are provided with a one-on-one guidance service by academics to help them choose departments in line with their interests and career goals.
Strong Opportunities from Education to Career
Academic and social facilities enriching university life are also introduced to prospective students at the university stands. While it is stated that BEUN provides students with a strong educational infrastructure with its 28 accredited programs, 20 departments with TYÇ (Türkiye Qualifications Framework) logo, hundreds of Erasmus+ agreements with 43 countries, double major, minor and transfer opportunities, it is also highlighted that it has the opportunity to prepare students for professional life with its career fairs, meetings with sector representatives, internship opportunities, and public institutions-university-industry collaborations. The collaborations made particularly with Ereğli Iron and Steel Works (Erdemir), Turkish Hard Coal Enterprise, Turkish Petroleum Enterprise, and many institutions in the organized industrial zones contribute to their hands-on training process.
University Producing Science and Technology
BEUN’s research and project production culture are among the highly discussed topics in the preference fairs. Initiatives carried out in National Technology Workshops, achievements in TEKNOFEST, TÜBİTAK, and ÜNİDES projects, and innovative projects developed by student technology teams are explained to students. Rankings achieved in national and international competitions, particularly Grizu-263 Space Team, which developed the first and only pocket satellite and sent to space, are among the significant signs of practice-focused educational approach and research ecosystem of the university. The first and only departments of Offshore Drilling Technologies and Offshore Subsea Application Technology opened in collaboration with Council of Higher Education, Turkish Petroleum Enterprise, and BEUN attract great attention from students aiming a career in energy sector.
