How Do We Aim to Educate Students?

Our aim to train students with knowledge and vision at every step of the journey from the field to international trade. We aim to achieve this goal by educating our students in business, management, commerce, technology, informatics, ecology, agriculture, food, and innovation with an interdisciplinary curriculum.

The Department of Agricultural Trade and Management aims to meet the required personnel capacity on a sectoral basis by providing training on many different subjects for the needs of Turkey, a predominantly agricultural country. In this department, students learn the trade of the products produced and the management process of the enterprises in this field by taking trade knowledge and primary agriculture and soil knowledge. Although the Department of Agricultural Trade and Management is a department with extremely high standards, it allows the work in the agricultural sector to be carried to a more global dimension and to do more consciously. Students who receive training on issues such as increasing the yield of agricultural plants grown in our country and sold to the world, and marketing these products to the world at higher standards, make significant contributions to agricultural trade.

It is easier for students to reach the desired level in the international arena by combining their knowledge in fields such as economy, trade, and business with their expertise in agriculture and soil. For this reason, student candidates who score above the base points of the Department of Agricultural Trade and Management have the chance to achieve a good career goal. Students who take different courses each academic year have the opportunity to train themselves in every field, from technology to accounting. At the same time, with the university's double major and minor options, it is possible to find a job in different fields.

While our students carry out the applications of the courses they will take during their education in the facilities and laboratories of our University, they will have the opportunity to apply what they have learned at school in public and private sectors with the two summer internships they must complete and the two long-term internships to be carried out in the third year, and they will have the chance to put their theoretical knowledge into practice in business life before they graduate.
