Applied Education Model

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

OSTİM Technical University was established in OSTİM, a prominent business and financial hub that has significantly contributed to Turkey’s industrialization. In addition to theoretical knowledge, the university places strong emphasis on applied education to ensure that students can effectively utilize what they learn. Beginning in their first year, students will take one practice-oriented course each semester, through which they will gain observational, practical, innovative, and managerial skills in various units of international trade and finance.

Entrepreneurship Report Card

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The Entrepreneurship Scorecard at OSTİM Technical University is a structured process designed to equip students with an entrepreneurial mindset, competencies, and skills. It evaluates each student's performance based on predefined or subsequently recognized entrepreneurial activities. Upon reaching a certain threshold, students' progress is monitored and supported, ensuring the development of practical entrepreneurship capabilities throughout their academic journey.

Students who reach a certain score threshold on the Entrepreneurship Scorecard will be eligible for a range of rewards and support mechanisms. These include seed funding for their design, product, service, or project initiatives; business opportunities within OSTİM Technopark; support in finding and networking with potential partners; and internship opportunities abroad.
