The Certified and Branded Courses initiative, launched in the Spring Semester of 2024-2025, is an innovative educational approach aimed at maximizing the academic and professional development of our students. This initiative represents a strategic step in providing up-to-date competencies that offer a competitive advantage in the business world, enhancing our university’s employability, and strengthening university-industry collaboration on a sectoral basis.
In terms of teaching methods and techniques, this model emphasizes active learning approaches such as project-based learning, case analysis, problem-based learning, hands-on laboratory work, and seminars and workshops with industry professionals. Through this approach, students acquire not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills that can be applied in real-life scenarios.
Certified and branded courses ensure that learning outcomes are fully aligned with labor market expectations by allowing industry representatives to directly contribute to course content and integrating current technologies into the classroom environment. This enhances students’ employability after graduation while creating an interactive, up-to-date, and application-focused learning environment during the teaching process.
In conclusion, the Certified and Branded Courses initiative stands out as a teaching model that increases students’ learning motivation, supports long-term learning, and positions our university’s educational quality competitively at both national and international levels.
