Vocational School

Dear Students,

Welcome to Çağ University's Yaşar BAYBOĞAN campus, where associate, undergraduate, and graduate students receive education, communicate, and share all facilities on the same campus, which is certified for its greenery!

Since its establishment in 1997, Çağ University has continued its educational activities at the Çağ University Vocational School. In our programs, including Banking and Insurance, Child Development, Foreign Trade, Occupational Health and Safety, Court Office Services, Social Services, Medical Documentation and Secretariat, and Applied English Translation, associate degree education is provided in Turkish. Our university offers 50% and 100% scholarships throughout the education period (2 years). Scholarships are granted to students placed in the scholarship quotas listed in the ÖSYM guide after the university entrance exam conducted annually. These scholarships cover the entire duration of education but are revoked in cases of disciplinary action.

Aligned with our university's mission, the mission of the vocational school is to train professionals equipped with the knowledge and skills to meet the changing needs of society. Our vision is to nurture young professionals who love their country and the world, are equipped with universal knowledge and skills in their field, are responsible, rational, multidimensional thinkers, and are sought-after experts in their professional lives.

In accordance with our university's mission, the aim of our vocational school is to cultivate individuals who are capable of meeting the changing needs of society, possessing knowledge, skills, and competencies related to their field, with social responsibility awareness, environmental sensitivity, quality focus, entrepreneurial spirit, research capabilities, high self-confidence, and readiness for life. The Çağ University Vocational School is committed to becoming one of the leading vocational schools in the field of social sciences in our country.

Our vocational school programs are developed within the framework of the Bologna process and Turkey Qualifications Framework (TYÇ) key competencies, as approved by the Higher Education Quality Board. In addition to our institutional accreditation, our "Foreign Trade" and "Banking and Insurance" programs are accredited by IACBE, one of the most prestigious accreditation bodies in the United States, until 2029.

To ensure your proficiency in academic and professional English, our curriculum includes four semesters of "Basic" and "Professional English" courses designed to enhance your English skills. All our programs, featuring both conceptual and applied courses, are conducted by a fully equipped teaching staff at our campus, which is ranked among the greenest campuses in the world and Turkey (Greenmetrics 2022 & 2023). Our university is also one of the few in Turkey that has adopted the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME).

As students of the Vocational School, you have the opportunity for short-term study/internship abroad within the Erasmus+ Learning and Internship Mobility framework. Additionally, you can obtain information about projects supported by TÜBİTAK from our units. TÜBİTAK 2209 supported projects are currently ongoing for students in Banking and Insurance, Child Development, and Medical Documentation and Secretariat programs. We support your concept and application knowledge through sector leader visits, executive experience talks, career days, events, and practices. Additionally, all our programs include a "Professional Internship" course, which requires at least 20 working days, starting from the period when students progress from the 1st to the 2nd year. You can also take advantage of job and internship opportunities offered by the Career Development Practice and Research Center and the National Internship Program during the summer period as specified by institutions. Don't forget that being actively involved in our student clubs throughout your university life will be very beneficial for you. If you wish to continue academically, you can transition to four-year programs through the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS) in the year of your graduation. If you need information about all the educational and developmental opportunities available to you at our Vocational School, we are here to assist you.

We are glad you are now part of Çağ University. Welcome once again!

Best regards,

Prof. Dr. Eda YAŞA ÖZELTÜRKAY
