Marketing (English) - Thesis Program

Purpose of the Program

The aim of this program is to train and introduce into business life executives who are experts in sales and marketing, who know how to renew themselves according to constantly evolving and changing market conditions, and who have entrepreneurial, dynamic and analytical thinking skills.

Since it is an English program, it will ensure that students coming from abroad will contribute to the promotion of our university, our city and our country in their social and business lives in their own countries when they join the business life after graduation. In addition, being an intermediary for foreign students to learn Turkish and get to know Turkish culture will increase the potential of our university faculty members to receive projects from abroad, the number of publications to be made in international journals and the communication opportunities with the academic community in other countries.

Our students, who are our own citizens, will be able to work in the field of marketing and sales that will contribute to the competitiveness of our country, thanks to the English and world-class education they receive after graduation.
