Information is power in the 21st century. As new and rapid mechanisms for communication are introduced, it is easier than ever to access information. Today, through our personal computers in the comfort of our own homes, we can all access the mythic Library of Alexandria containing all the world’s knowledge, a thing that was once only a dream. Yet even with the opportunities provided by the internet age it is increasingly difficult to make sense of and use the information we have acquired in ways that meet the ever-urgent demands of development and globalization.
We at Istinye University’s Institute of Graduate Education are equipping individuals to meet the requirements and expectations of the modern world, instilling them with knowledge based on the theoretical infrastructure of the sciences and skills derived from the practical realities of life. Our goal is to use our academic research, education and powers of innovation to advance Turkish society and strengthen Turkey’s ability to compete in the international system as an independent leader. Producing new projects in collaboration with private and public sectors and educational and research institutions, we at Istinye University extend all our resources to our young people, the leaders of the future, providing them with a quality educational experience founded on honesty and commitment.
