KHAS PROJECT-BASED EDUCATION MODEL

In Kadir Has University, relations with local stakeholders and professional representatives are also provided and sustained through the KHAS Project-Based Education Model. 
 
In Project-Based Education, all academic subjects to be taught are covered in modules tailored to a project and to the project. Starting from the second semester of the lesson plan, it is ensured that the student undertakes at least two projects each semester, questions the formation required to reach the goal in these projects, and acquires it with the subjects to be learned in that semester.
 
For each project, the student has an academic mentor and a mentor who works with essential representatives of the industry. Industrial stakeholders of the program play an active role in defining, executing, evaluating, and grading these projects.
 
As part of this educational model, industrial (external) stakeholders provide students with long-term internship opportunities in their work areas, production facilities, and R&D laboratories.

KADIR HAS UNIVERSITY & SILIVRI MUNICIPALITY FREE ENGLISH EDUCATION
 

Kadir Has University actively collaborates with government departments on projects aimed at social development and youth empowerment. For example, in partnership with Silivri Municipality, Kadir Has University organized a special project to enhance language skills among young people. Through this collaboration, the Silivri Education Academy launched its second Free English Course in 2023, benefiting students between the ages of 9-15.

Held at Kadir Has University's Selimpaşa Campus, the Conversational English Program aimed to improve students' practical language abilities. The training took place in two sessions: the first from July 3, 2023, to August 3, 2023, and the second from August 7, 2023, to September 7, 2023. At the end of the program, 80 students received certificates, marking their achievement in English proficiency. This project demonstrates our university’s commitment to initiatives that support local communities, provide equal opportunities, and foster skills essential for future success.
