Dear Students,

If you love the written word, you are in the right place. An English degree at Topkapi University gives you all kinds of opportunity to explore the pleasures of English literature, from Beowulf to Virginia Woolf with more than 60 undergraduate courses.

Our English BA program features excellent lecturers and scholars who actively engage in research. In their classes, you’ll develop all-important skills in communication, critical thinking, analysis, and persuasion. You’ll learn about writing, reporting, interviewing, and public speaking. You’ll examine history, culture, and professional writing to become an effective communicator and storyteller. You will gain a critical eye in how language is used to persuade while increasing your information about using mass media. Last but not the least, your knowledge of language and culture will serve you well whether you’re planning to be a creative writer, language instructor, PR professional, or CEO.

Istanbul is a city of art and culture and we are fortunate to be located at the heart of historic locations which offer exciting possibilities for exploring the cultural and historical heritage of Istanbul. You will be surprised how such a stimulating environment will boost your imagination and contribute to the improvement of your creative skills.

In response to student and faculty demand, we recently have revised our English BA curriculum, emphasizing the rich cultural resources of our teaching community. We are also engaged in the distance learning, reimagining our scholarly and creative work online in a multiplicity of rich and open and productive ways.
