About the Program

Special Education Teaching program provides education for future special education teachers who can support children with special-education needs in a way that addresses their individual differences and needs. The courses are designed to help our students achieve a higher level of personal self-sufficiency and success in school and in their community that may not be available in a typical educational setting.

For successful completion of the four-year program, students are expected to take a total of 62 courses (156 credit/hours): 134 credits theory-based and 22 credits practice-based modules. The medium of instruction is Turkish and available as an undergraduate program.

In their final academic year, students gain practical experience in special education and general education in a school setting, which enables them to put the knowledge they have learnt in the previous three years into practice. They are also required to submit a portfolio about their practices conducted under the supervision of a lecturer and a special education teacher. After graduating, students become “Special Needs Teachers”.
