The Department of Software Development, one of the rapidly growing departments within our University's Faculty of Science, has opened its new academic and administrative facilities. Located on the third floor of the Physics Department building, the newly renovated spaces were officially opened at a ceremony attended by University administrators and academic staff.

With its first group of students now in their third year, the department has gained dedicated facilities through the support of the Rectorate. The renovated space includes offices for the Department Chair and academic staff, an administrative office, a meeting room, a modern computer laboratory, and an archive.

Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, attendees gathered for a reception to discuss the department's academic vision and its goals for collaboration with industry.
Speaking at the ceremony, our Rector, Prof. Dr. Hamdullah ÇUVALCI, emphasized the importance of strengthening the infrastructure of newly established departments and preparing qualified professionals in artificial intelligence and software development. He also highlighted the University's plans to bring its computing-related units together under a dedicated technology hub.
With its flexible and innovative approach to education, the Department of Software Development equips students with essential skills in computer science, algorithms, databases, and software engineering.
