STUDENT ESSAY CONTEST

ÖĞRENCİ MAKALE YARIŞMASI

We are pleased to announce that we will be holding two essay competitions for our students, one in Turkish and one in English. This is a chance for you to cultivate your creative thinking skills, reasoning abilities, critical analysis, and persuasive writing style in addition to enhancing your CV. This will help you to develop into a great writer beyond the confines of the school curriculum. Think big and have a go! This also gives you the opportunity to be appreciated by senior academics from different universities.

It is good to write, but it is even better to be read.

Prof. Dr. M. Naci KAYAOĞLU
Head of the Department
