The other reasons why are preferred are the quality and richness of our academic staff, a strong laboratory infrastructure, accredited undergraduate programs, international collaborations, interdisciplinary double major and minor program opportunities (engineering, business sciences, law, ...), and being a campus university able to provide all kinds of student needs."
Stating that they organize courses in different subjects in order to prepare students for their university life and their lessons, Canan Aykut Bingöl said "These are personal development, introduction to social sciences, introduction to mathematics and coding courses.
