Prof. Dr. Metin ZONTUL

Dean's Message: 

The defense industry is undoubtedly one of the leading sectors for the development of national economies. Our university, which aims to specialize in the field of defense industry in order to give undergraduate and graduate students graduates who can easily adapt to the sector, has 3 Faculties, 1 School of Foreign Languages, 1 Vocational School and 1 Institute.

Our Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, with its Computer, Electrical-Electronics, Chemistry, Mechanical, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering and Basic Engineering Sciences departments, adopts a defense industry-oriented, application-oriented education model. It aims to produce graduate students who are ready for the sector requirements. Our faculty, which started education in 2020, will start undergraduate education in Electrical-Electronics Engineering and Computer Engineering departments in the 2022-2023 academic year. In the coming years, students will be admitted to other departments of our faculty.

The language of instruction at SBTÜ is English and applied courses focused on the defense industry. During their undergraduate education, our students will have summer internships and workplace training opportunities in defense industry companies because of our protocols with Turkey's leading defense industry organizations. Students who will graduate from our faculty in line with the goals of our university will have a significant advantage in finding a job in the sector.

It is aimed to provide a quality education with the new and advanced laboratory facilities of our faculty, and to provide our students with interdisciplinary knowledge with the opportunities of double major and minor branches. Our students will be able to benefit from exchange programs such as Erasmus. In addition, with our social and cultural clubs, our students will be able to develop themselves socially. We would be happy to see you among us in our faculty designed for education and research, where the defense industry engineers of the future will be trained.
