The Institute Administrative Staff

Dear Prospective Students,

Since its establishment, TOBB ETÜ has attracted some of Türkiye's most outstanding students to its undergraduate programs, offered with and without scholarships. Building on this success, the University has also launched a wide range of highly ambitious graduate programs. Thanks to the combined achievements of our students and distinguished academic staff, the number and reputation of the Master's programs offered by the Graduate School of Social Sciences continue to grow steadily.

As the university established by the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB), representing more than 1.3 million businesses, TOBB ETÜ stands out not only for its strong academic faculty but also for its close ties with industry. All of our master's programs are founded on the principle of integrating theoretical knowledge with experiential learning. Across our multidisciplinary programs, our primary objective is to provide students with the latest developments in both academic research and professional practice while taking into account the distinctive characteristics of the Turkish business environment.

The master's programs offered by the TOBB ETÜ Graduate School of Social Sciences are designed in two formats: scholarship-supported thesis-based programs and tuition-based non-thesis programs. Our non-thesis programs aim to equip students from diverse academic backgrounds with up-to-date knowledge and essential professional skills in an environment that encourages learning from one another, enabling them to thrive in an increasingly competitive business world. Our thesis-based programs, on the other hand, encourage original research that contributes to both theory and practice in the relevant field, while preparing students for academic careers and doctoral studies.

I invite you to explore the master's programs offered by the TOBB ETÜ Graduate School of Social Sciences and discover the opportunities they provide to broaden your horizons and shape your career through informed and purposeful choices.
