Program Profile As the Department of Turkish Language and Literature, we believe that literature not only seeks to understand human life but also to shape, enrich and beautify it. With this orientation, in addition to basic knowledge, we aim to provide our students with new theories and disciplines that will enable them to look at literature with a contemporary perspective. Thus, while literature is presented with its nationality and universality, our students will gain new horizons and seek new syntheses.
