Our Office of the Dean of Research Meets High School Students

Ankara University Deputy Dean of Research Prof. Dr. Aytuğ Okumuş met with students of Etlik Sınav Anatolian High School and shared our University’s Research Vision and YKS Success with them.

At the event held on the Etlik Sınav Schools campus, Prof. Dr. Aytuğ Okumuş gave a comprehensive introductory presentation aimed at prospective university students. The main focus of the presentation was the combination of Ankara University’s long-established academic tradition and its innovative research ecosystem.

In his speech, Prof. Dr. Okumuş gave detailed information about the “Ankara University 2025 Higher Education Institutions Examination Report”, prepared by our Office of the Dean of Research, which demonstrates our university’s success in education with data. Referring to the results of the report, Okumuş shared with the participants Ankara University’s achievements in YKS score types, the preference rates of our departments, and the academic achievement profiles of students. Noting that this success is no coincidence, Okumuş underlined our university’s quality-oriented approach to education and its strong academic staff.

Particularly emphasizing the privileges that Ankara University offers its students as a “Research University,” Prof. Dr. Okumuş stated that students have the opportunity, even at the undergraduate level, to take part in national and international projects, work in modern laboratories, and conduct research together with pioneering academics in their fields. He said that these opportunities enable our graduates to start their careers a step ahead.

The presentation, delivered to high school students at a critical stage of career planning, continued interactively with the students’ questions about university life, campus facilities, and future goals. Wishing the students success in their YKS preparation process, Prof. Dr. Aytuğ Okumuş invited them to become part of the Ankara University family.

We thank Etlik Sınav Schools for this valuable meeting that inspires students at the beginning of their career journeys.
