According to the results of the 2023 Türkiye University Satisfaction Survey (TÜMA) announced by the University Research Laboratory (ÜniAr), Hasan Kalyoncu University (HKU), which received A and A+ grades in all six satisfaction categories, ranked 8th among 200 universities in Türkiye and 4th among 74 foundation universities in the “overall satisfaction” ranking, once again proving its claim in this regard.
THIS PRIDE BELONGS TO ALL OF US
Stating that they are extremely pleased that the student-centred education, teaching and research ecosystem they have built has earned such recognition, with the research results detailed at https://www.uniar.net/tuma, HKU Rector Prof. Dr. Türkay Dereli said: “This pride belongs to all of us. I sincerely thank all our academic and administrative staff who contributed to this success, and our valued students who gave us this pride with their support. With our vision of being an applied research university that educates innovative graduates who will build a sustainable future, we will continue working together to achieve even better results.”
WE ARE IN THE TOP 10% IN ALL CATEGORIES
Emphasising how important it is to be in the top 10% in all satisfaction categories and to receive A+ and A grades, HKU Rector Prof. Dr. Türkay Dereli said: “It is gratifying that we ranked second among foundation universities and fifth among all universities in the category of Satisfaction with the Management and Operation of the Institution, with an A+ grade. In the category of Campus and Campus Life Satisfaction, we also rank fourth among foundation universities and twelfth among all universities, again with an A+ grade. We are a true campus university certified with an A+ grade. This year, our campus was also listed by GreenMetric among the 300 greenest campuses in the world. One of the results that makes us happiest is ranking seventh among foundation universities and tenth among all universities in the category of Personal Development and Career Support. Our Career Planning, Application and Research Centre truly worked very hard this year. Under the coordination of the Presidential Human Resources Office, it successfully organised the Silk Road Career Fair at our university in May. Together with our Dean of Students’ Office and our Alumni Association, we are developing projects on career management. We are striving to achieve full integration with the business world. We have started our project of evolving into an artificial intelligence-supported, personalised education, teaching and research ecosystem, and we are working with all our strength to bring it to maturity. We sincerely believe that our innovative and entrepreneurial graduates will rapidly put into practice pioneering applied research that guides society and the business world.”
