Our institution embarked on its journey with the principles of excellence and accessibility in education, adopting modern solutions that meet the needs of the information society, and striving to transform the learning process. In line with this objective, in 2024, the Social Fusion Education platform was launched as one of the key pillars of the institution's digitalization strategy.

The platform offers an innovative learning ecosystem that enhances access to information, facilitates learning processes, and supports academic success.

Establishment and Development Process

The foundation of the Social Fusion Education platform was laid at a time when digital transformation in higher education became a necessity. Launched in 2024, the project was developed to respond to the changing learning habits of today’s students. Initially, the platform functioned as a system for sharing basic course materials and announcements. In a short time, it evolved into a comprehensive Learning Management System (LMS).

Key features integrated into the platform include:

• Academic Resources and Materials: A comprehensive database that provides students with quick access to course content and library resources.

• Interactive Learning Modules: Modules that make course content interactive, enhancing students’ learning processes and making them more efficient.

• Event Management and Communication: A comprehensive communication infrastructure covering the academic calendar, seminars, workshops, and event announcements.

• Personalized Student Profiles: A tailored learning experience for each student, customized according to their academic needs.

Global Vision and Mission

Social Fusion Education aims to be more than just a learning platform. It seeks to provide an ecosystem that guides students towards achieving their career goals. By embracing the philosophy of lifelong learning, the platform supports students not only during their university years but also after graduation.
