Dear Students,

Welcome to European Union Relations Department of our University which includes a dynamic and interdisciplinary program! The program aims to educate students with the most up-to-date knowledge and to enrich them with the theoretical background and experimental research tools they will need in their future careers. Our program, in which basic courses from the departments of Economics, International Relations and Political Science will be taken and which includes subjects specifically related to European Union studies, is a somewhat challenging but at the same time entertaining program. Our students will have the opportunity to gain expertise in enlargement, security, integration theories, European Monetary Union, labor market and many other subjects in the European Union.

Our students will also tackle and analyze contemporary issues and challenges facing the EU and the whole world today, such as Brexit, migration crisis and climate change.

I wish you a focused and determined begining and a productive academic year.

Dr. Dizem ERTAÇ VAROĞLU
Chair, Department of European Union Relations
