ISTANBUL BILGI UNIVERSITY MA PROGRAM IN HISTORY
[Cultural and Intellectual History of Turkey from the Middle Ages to the
Present Day] 

Students will be admitted for the 2009/2010 academic year 

The Master's Program aims to provide students of diverse backgrounds a firm
academic foundation geared towards conducting original research in the field
of history with an emphasis on interdisciplinary methods and approaches.
Application to the program is not limited to students with undergraduate
degrees in history but is also open to those from related fields in the
social sciences and humanities, whether it be on the undergraduate as well
as graduate level. International students are likewise encouraged to apply.
Teaching and coursework are conducted in English. The two-year master's
program focuses on the cultural and intellectual history of Turkey covering
the medieval to contemporary periods. Since the field of cultural and
intellectual history is particularly underepresented in graduate programs in
Turkish universities, the History Department at Istanbul Bilgi University
offers a unique program both in terms of diverse and challenging coursework
as well as research opportunities in the above field. With an emphasis on
interaction with the teaching staff, the program encourages students to work
in close collaboration with their advisors in both the classroom as well as
on individual research projects. Teaching Staff:
