It is a very important duty to train our country's teachers, professors and faculty members. The Institute of Graduate Programs is an institution that trains professors who will develop the infrastructure of our country, create its identity in every sense, and educate people. Therefore, these efforts are not in vain, rest assured that these students will take on very important duties in the coming years. Many of them will perform very sacred duties and represent us in beautiful places, universities and various institutions. As for Karabük University, it is a university founded in 2007, and although it is considered young, it is a very fast-growing university. It was founded in 2007, and just a year or two later, we opened master's and doctoral programs in many of our departments. Look at the staff of our neighboring universities today. You will see that many of them have their doctorates from Karabük University. This is truly a great success. This rapid growth was, of course, realized with the contribution of our past administrators and our current administrative staff and Rectors, and it is a source of great pride for us.
