In 2007, living up to its slogan “Our university is closest to the business world”, Istanbul Okan University combines theory and practice in a balanced way, and that’s through employing an academic crew consisting of many experts in their special fields, adopting an advanced education approach, and focusing on practical and scientific studies that prepare students to enter the practical life in the future, starting from the first academic year for students. The university was delighted to hand its first graduates their diplomas in 2006-2007. It kept its promise that can be found in its slogan, where all the first graduates found job opportunities.
