Kadir Has University is committed to extending its educational activities beyond registered students and beyond campus through various applications including colloquiums, open to public courses and social responsibility projects by academic units, student clubs, students and graduates.

 

As Kadir Has University, we open our doors outside the university with our “Public Colloquium” series, and we periodically welcome an expert in his/her field every month. We consider these public series as a social responsibility project; we meet regularly every month with the neighborhood surrounding our campus and all our stakeholders to get informed about a new topic and create a discussion environment. We also have a question and answer session in these colloquial where we can ask questions to our guests after their presentations. In 2022, there were 18 public colloquiums. Our "Public Colloquium" series, which we have realized recently in many different subjects differing from philosophy to economy, history to design, continues in 2023 as well.

 

Kadir Has University High School Summer School program in 2022 consisted of two terms, with 24 lessons offered in each term. Successful students were eligible to receive a Certificate of Achievement.Exceptionally successful students received recommendation letters and they became assistants and/or were assigned research projects. The Kadir Has High School Summer School is open to both high school and university students.

OPEN COURSES

Open to Public Courses are also periodically implemented each semester. One example was the open to public course titled "World Literature Online: Universal Poetry in Wide Time and Wide Geography" is the 15th Public Lecture which held from 12 October 2022 to 11 January 2023. The lectures were held on Wednesdays between 20:00-22:00. Open to public courses typically include both in-class applications such as readings, exams, presentations and – depending on the topic – tours and on-site sessions beyond the campus. These courses also aim to produce one, collective research output to be submitted to academic journals. This way, open to public courses aim to engage public in research processes. Videos of completed open courses are uploaded on the website for public access.

 

 

Social responsibility projects initiated by Kadir Has University faculties and departments, student clubs, students and graduates form another indispensable source of outreach activities. As part of the KHAS New Education Model, students of Core Program take civic responsibility courses (KHAS 110 Civic Responsibility Project & KHAS 120 Civic Responsibility Project for International Students). In these courses, core program students design and implement social responsibility projects to reach out to various communities and publics with the aim of positive social change.

 

Beginning with 2008, Kadir Has University is in cooperation with the Austrian High School Alumni Association in "I Want to Work" project, which aims to engage disadvantaged women into work life.
