Our University is a Centre of Excellence in Postgraduate Education: Applications to Our Postgraduate Programmes Have Increased by 63%
Ibn Haldun University continues to serve as a centre of excellence for world-class research in the social sciences, thanks to the high-achieving students admitted to our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. In this context, applications from prospective students to our university’s postgraduate programmes have risen by 63 percent compared to last year.

Ibn Haldun University, our country’s only foundation university specialising in the social and human sciences, is strengthening its role as a leading centre of academic excellence through the quality of its education, its programmes shaped by current needs and an innovative approach, its distinguished academic staff, the pioneering work it carries out at both national and international levels, and the exceptional opportunities it provides to its students.

Having solidified its top-tier ranking among all universities regarding undergraduate program placements based on this year's YKS results, our University has achieved similar success in graduate applications. Specifically, applications to our graduate programs rose by 63% across the four application periods held for the 2025-2026 Academic Year. Applications from Turkish citizens also increased by 24% during the same period compared to the previous year.

At our University—where graduate students make up approximately 60% of the student body—education is currently being conducted across a total of 47 doctoral, thesis-based master’s, and non-thesis master’s programs. This includes new programs opened for application this year: PhD in Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Education, PhD in Air Transport Management, PhD in Public Law, Master’s with Thesis in Family Studies, Master’s with Thesis in Financial Technologies, Master’s with Thesis in War Studies, and Master’s with Thesis in Executive Coaching and Consulting.

At Ibn Haldun University, master’s and doctoral students build their academic careers on a solid foundation while still pursuing their studies through “Teaching Assistantship” and “Research Assistantship” opportunities—options available at only a few universities in Türkiye. Furthermore, in addition to high-quality education, research, and project opportunities, our graduate programs offer full tuition waivers, foreign language preparatory training, and cash scholarships to eligible students.
