Atılım University saw hundreds of graduates having completed their pursuit of education successfully.  Thousands of guests attending our Graduation Ceremony for the Academic Year of 2022-2023 shared the pride and enthusiasm of our students as they stepped into their professional lives.

In his inauguration speech, Acting President Prof. Dr. Serkan Eryılmaz noted: “Never ever stop dreaming. Not now, and not years into the future. Remember that you can make your dreams happen through hard work. “My spiritual fortune is science and reason,” says Mustafa Kemal Atatürk; so, keep that in mind and achieve your dreams, shape your life, and contribute to improving our country through science and scientific thinking. We will soon be seeing you off into the world as graduates; but as our graduates, you will remain in the Atılım Family. I wish you luck and success in this new chapter of your life.”
