Department Head’s Message
Dear Students and Their Valued Families,
Welcome to our Computer Science Department, established in 2025 within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Çankaya University!
With the announcement of the 2025 YKS (Higher Education Institutions Exam) results, we are accepting our first students this year and are excited to embark on a brand new journey together.
In this era when the digital age touches every aspect of life, we invite you to discover your individual talents, understand technology, and create.
With contemporary course content focused on areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science, we aim to examine the theoretical roots of computer science together and to teach our students how these foundations connect with real-world applications.
Erasmus opportunities are an integral part of Çankaya University’s strong institutional culture. As our department develops, we will actively work to offer these opportunities to our students.
Similarly, we have taken action to offer double major and minor programs, available in nearly all departments at our university, to our students as soon as possible.
Our goal is not just to graduate; it is to cultivate individuals who think, research, develop, and contribute to the development of our country.
It will be a great pleasure for us to walk with you in this new, dynamic, and visionary department.
With love and excitement,
Dr. Ceylan Yalçın
