The Department of International Relations is a discipline that examines the relations of actors such as states, organizations, non-governmental organizations and multinational companies that constitute the international system. The discipline emerged as a sub-branch of Political Science in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and became an independent field of study over time. The World Wars, which led to the realization of the vital importance of negotiation and cooperation in the international system, were effective in the emergence of this situation. In the following period and today, with the effect of globalization and technological developments, the number of international actors and the intensity of relations between these actors have increased, a transition process from international relations to global politics has begun and the discipline has gained even more importance.

The curriculum of this discipline includes courses in the fields of political science, history, sociology, economics and law. Our graduates can continue their postgraduate studies in the fields of international relations and other social sciences. There are broad and increasing opportunities for graduates from this discipline, both nationally and internationally.
