Life-long Learning Policy

Ege University

Access to Lifelong Learning Policy

Ege University attaches importance to lifelong learning, which is the process of completing the development of personal, social and professional expertise to improve the quality of life of individuals and the individuals with whom they live together, in addition to providing quality and qualified education with its scientific studies in line with its goal of being a research university. In this context, Ege University's lifelong learning policy covers the following issues:

• Ege University organizes trainings that support lifelong learning through centers such as "Continuing Education Center" and "Distance Education Application and Research Center".

• Ege University also supports lifelong learning by developing educational activities and social responsibility projects for non-university stakeholders through different faculties and colleges.

• The educational activities prepared by Ege University for lifelong learning through its education centers, faculties and colleges are open to all members of the society, regardless of ethnicity, religion, language, disability or gender.

Ege University, which has been among the leading universities of our country in terms of both scientific research and educational activities since its establishment, reveals its goal of being a pioneer in supporting "lifelong learning" with its educational activities for all members of the society and increasing its number every year. 

In the Strategic Plan of Ege University, which was prepared in 2019, updated for the years 2022-2023 and covers the years 2019-2023, a policy was also adopted to increase the "number of certified programs organized for the society within the scope of lifelong education" and "the number of certificates given in the trainings organized within the scope of lifelong education". https://kalite.ege.edu.tr/files/kalite/icerik/stratejik%20plan2_compressed%20(1).pdf
