The Faculty of Arts and Sciences, founded in 1997 as one of the founding faculties of Atılım University, comprises the departments of English Language and Literature, Mathematics, Translation and Interpretation, Psychology and Educational Sciences. Starting off with the Department of English Language and Literature in 1997, the Faculty launched the departments of Mathematics and Translation and Interpretation in the 2000-2001 academic year, which were then followed by the departments of Psychology in 2003-2004 and Educational Sciences in 2010-2011, respectively.
With its team of highly qualified and experienced faculty, The Faculty of Arts and Sciences is dedicated to providing a learning environment that fosters academic and personal growth, inspiring students to become socially responsible individuals with open and enquiring minds competent in their own fields of expertise. The departments offer a wide range of compulsory and elective courses and have exchange programmes with several universities around the world.
The Faculty offers students various opportunities for active involvement in learning, research and application. Students can make use of the Computer Laboratory of the Mathematics department, the Simultaneous Interpretating Lab, the Experimental Psychology Research and Application Lab, and the Clinical Psychology Lab. These facilities are all fully-equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The Faculty also encourages students to pursue a double degree; a double major or a minor. The departments also offer M.A., M.S. and Ph.D. programmes.

These departments gathered in the same faculty to support each other and offer a creative atmosphere. Students have a chance to choose from shared selective classes and improve themselves according to their interests. In addition to departments with undergraduate studies; Interior Architecture and Environmental Design department has also a graduate study program. Integrated Architecture PHD has started in 2012 Fall Semester. The PHD program allows focusing on “Architectural Design”, “Building Science” and “Conservation-Restoration”. In addition to students with a graduate degree, students who have an undergraduate degree from architecture and similar fields can join the PHD program.
When compared to similareducation institutions, it can be easily realized thatFine Arts, Design and Architecture Faculty of Atılım University has a significant superiority with academic staff quantity and quality. This allows the faculty to pioneer in scientific and artistic researches and events.
The Faculty of Law was established in 2003, and its first academic year began in the November of the same year. Its curriculum is prepared according to the below mentioned considerations.
In recent years, as a consequence of rapid developments on both regional and global levels, the structure of both state and society has been deeply influenced by international and supranational improvements. One of the expected results of this fact is the rearrangement of educational curricula into a form able to reflect this transformation. Due to the significance of the role it plays in society, the law discipline is at the forefront of this adaptation. For this reason the curriculum of the Atılım University Faculty of Law has been designed to take this reality into consideration. Two interrelated dimensions have been taken into account during the adaptation. The first is the teaching of English, the global language, and the other is the provision of knowledge related to newly emerged topics .In this context the traditional and basic branches of law are taught in Turkish as obligatory courses. In regard to the newly emerged fields, some are accorded obligatory status others are offered as elective courses. Courses from supplementary branches of law are also included in the curriculum. Some of these, as is also the case with courses from the newly emerged fields, are considered to be better taught in English.
In sum, the main goal or philosophy behind the curriculum is not to merely give information to students but to provide them with the knowledge and background that will enable them to access and process information and thus make well-reasoned judgements.
Our Faculty is one of the oldest in Atilim family as it was set up in the academic year of 1997-1998 soon after the establishment of our University. Since then it has grown steadily, as we currently have ten departments on a wide range of subjects from Management and Economics to Political Sciences and Public Administration and International Relations. We are now running a number of fully-fledged English medium departments such as Management, Economics, International Relations, International Trade and Logistics, Tourism and Hotel Management as well as Public Relations and Advertisement.
The Engineering Faculty of Atılım University has a unique position among Turkish universities, with its new and popular engineering fields such as mechatronics, manufacturing, software, informatics systems, energy systems and automotive engineering in addition to the existing conventional engineering departments. Altogether there are fourteen departments in the faculty. Having been established in 1997, the faculty, with its relatively large number of departments, a strong and dynamic academic cadre, and modern educational and research facilities, has secured a reputable position in a very short time and now is competing with the famous public universities in Turkey. Among the five faculties of Atılım University, the Engineering Faculty has nearly half of the students and the academic staff of the university. With its 39650 square meter indoor space on the university campus, it is the largest faculty of Atılım University. It also acted as a pioneering institution in Turkey for the establishment of a Center of Excellence on Metal Forming in 2009.
