Message from Faculty
Welcome to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Haliç University. As a Faculty focused on student-centered learning, we are glad to see you, our students, at our University. We would like you to know that the years you spent here will be the most significant part of your lives particularly in terms of your future.
The departments of Faculty of Arts and Sciences both carry on their own curriculums with success and make contributions to the other Faculties’ curriculums throughout the University, by offering several courses in the fields of Science and Social Sciences. Being one of the first faculties of Haliç University founded in 1998, our Faculty has a great number of bachelor’s and master’s degree programs.

The departments of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences are one of the basic units that meet some of the science and social courses in other departments of the university as well as their own education. Our faculty was established in 1998 as one of the first faculties of Haliç University. The Department of American Culture and Literature was established in 1998, the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics and the Department of Psychology in 2000, the Department of Translation and Interpreting (English) in 2005, the Department of Mathematics in 2007, the Department of Turkish Language and Literature and the Department of History in 2016. Although the Department of History has no students, it provides out-of-field courses to many departments of our university and faculty. Our lecturers also give basic science and culture courses to departments outside our faculty. In the departments of our faculty, participatory, computer and modern laboratory supported theoretical and practical education and training are provided. In 2012, after the implementation of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), elective courses have been introduced in the programmes of our departments at least 25% in accordance with the Bologna Process. The programmes, which are enriched with elective courses based on a solid basic science education, have also been prepared to allow students to focus on several fields. As a result of this, our students will become people who have a lifelong awareness of education, access information, make analyses, gain the ability to make the right decision, question, research, learn and produce throughout life, have a conscience, have ethical values, respect human and nature. In other words, our departments provide an education that teaches learning.
