Mission

At the Institute of Social Sciences, we are committed to shaping the future of social sciences through exceptional graduate education, pioneering research, and impactful scholarship. Our mission is to nurture intellectuals who embody universal values, think and act with freedom, and are confident, equipped, and forward-thinking. We aim to empower individuals who are not only knowledgeable but also proactive, innovative, and capable of contributing meaningfully to society.

Our graduates are cultivated to become insightful researchers, experts, and educators, deeply rooted in the principles and reforms of Atatürk, and steadfast in their commitment to the indivisible unity of our nation. We prepare them to take on leadership roles across universities, governmental and non-governmental organizations, and the private sector, where they will inspire change, influence policy, and guide others with wisdom and integrity.

We foster a dynamic academic environment that encourages critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. By promoting a culture of research excellence and intellectual curiosity, we empower our students to become influential thought leaders and problem solvers of tomorrow.

At the Institute of Social Sciences, we do not simply educate—we inspire. We aim to cultivate a generation of scholars who will shape the future, uplift societies, and make a lasting impact on both a national and global scale.
