The Common Courses Department of Istanbul Kültür University is the academic unit responsible for conducting the compulsory common courses, Turkish and Atatürk’s Principles and History of Reforms, offered in associate and undergraduate programs, as well as for coordinating the Elective Non-Field (SAD) courses available university-wide.

Our department aims to strengthen the knowledge students acquire in different disciplines, to provide them with an interdisciplinary perspective, and to enhance their critical thinking skills. By working in close cooperation with academic units and departments, it supports both the academic and personal development of students.

Furthermore, it strives to contribute to the cultivation of individuals who are committed to ethical values and have a strong sense of social responsibility. In this respect, the department places emphasis not only on professional success but also on the acquisition of qualities that make social and cultural life meaningful.
