Faculty of Divinity Faculty of Divinity, founded in 1996, offers an eight-term (four year) education. The aim is to get students to understand Islam better and to be able to make comparisons between it and other religions. The main principle of the Faculty is to train individuals who are tolerant, respectful of humans, and devoted to universal values and the principles and reforms of Atatürk. Nevertheless, we also aim to train our students to think on the Coran, to unify Islam with science, and to present Islamic culture to them in its purified form, devoid of superstitions. Courses are conducted in three departments: Fundamental Islamic Sciences, Philosophical and Religious Sciences, and History and Arts of Islam. Students are required to attend the courses of all three departments.   Faculty of Divinity Home Page
