Overall Educational Objective Students who prefer a master's degree come from different faculties. The aim of the program is to ensure that students from different curricula meet at a general education level and to improve their equipment in doctoral and other fields that they will choose in the following years.
Course Description Since the concepts of security and strategy are mostly taken into consideration in the curricula of more standard security organizations and business faculties, they are important for education in accordance with the international literature, based on the etymological meanings of the words and concepts. Since the name of our course is seminar, it is planned to provide multidisciplinary education. For this reason, education on subjects other than philosophy, sociology and economy is becoming widespread.
Course Description in Turkish Güvenlik ve strateji kavramları daha ziyade emniyet teşkilatları ve işletme fakülteleri müfredatlarında önem kazanmış göründüğü için kelimelerin, kavramların etimolojik anlamlarından hareketle uluslararası literatüre uyumlu bir halde eğitim verilmesi. Dersimizin adının seminer olması nedeni ile multidisipliner eğitim verme zorunluluğunu öngörülür. O nedenle kimi zaman felsefe, kimi zaman sosyoloji ve ekonomiden farklı konularla öğrencilerin eğitim düzeyini geliştirmek.
