During the programme, hosted by Zafer Acar, Rector Akkaya offered advice to prospective students and their families regarding the university preference process.
Stating that BARÜ currently provides education to thousands of students through nine faculties, four vocational schools, the School of Foreign Languages and the Institute of Graduate Studies, Rector Akkaya noted that the university is among the higher education institutions specialising in the field of “Smart Logistics and Integrated Regional Applications”. He also mentioned the ninth International R&D Project Market, which will be held this year, as well as “Bilimfest Bartın”, which will take place in Bartın for the first time.

“We are included in prestigious rankings such as Times Higher Education, ShanghaiRanking, URAP, EngiRank and GreenMetric. Our scientific output and research quality continue to grow stronger every year.

We have achieved these successes together with our academics and students.”

We attach great importance to university–industry cooperation and ensure that our students engage with professional life before graduation.”
