Dean's Letter

Past:

Middle East Technical University (METU) was established in 1956 as an Institute for Housing and Settlement Research, Design and Planning for the Middle East region, through the collaboration of the Turkish government and the UN. The Faculty of Architecture, which was the first Faculty to open, originated from this background with a special law which made it possible for the best universal minds from all over the world to meet with Turkish outlook, expertise and practice in the middle of Anatolia (in Ankara), which was conceptually chosen as the center for the new modernization efforts in the Middle East and its hinterlands. It was also the place where Modern Turkish Revolution was directed in the early nineteen twenties.

Uzun bir uğraş, ümit ve bekleyişten sonra sonuçları almanın rahatlığı ile ve dinlenmiş olarak buradasınız. Birçoğunuz burada olmayı yıllardır düşleyip, kendi özverili çalışmalarınız ve ailelerinizin desteği ile hazırlanmış ve bilinçli bir seçim yapmış olabilirsiniz, bazılarınız da belki son anda verilen bir kararla bu mesleği seçmiş olabiliriniz.
