FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE

General Information

Our faculty was established with the Presidential Decree No. 5252 published in the Official Gazette dated 4 March 2022 and numbered 31768. It started its activities by admitting students to the Department of Horticulture and the Department of Field Crops in the autumn semester of 2023-2024 academic year. Our Faculty, established in Çivril, started its education life by taking students in the 2023-2024 academic year. Çivril is a beautiful district established in a beautiful plain on a large plain. Çivril is the largest district of Denizli province. Çivril is in a very important position both culturally, historically and agriculturally. It is also located at the crossroads of Afyon, Uşak, Denizli and the Mediterranean. In the plain, mainly fruit growing, field crops and zootechnical cattle and sheep breeding are carried out seriously. As the Faculty of Agriculture, we will contribute to agriculture in this region. Again, grape cultivation is at a very high level in the surrounding districts such as Çal and Bekirli. We will support these agricultural activities as the Faculty of Agriculture. Of course, in the faculty of applied sciences, money management subjects related to the capital market are predominantly demanded today. Again, in the departments of international trade and logistics, export-oriented education is provided, mainly courses on export and import are given. Again, in the department of organic agriculture management, very detailed information is provided on how organic agriculture is carried out and how this sector is managed. In the Çivril campus, there are areas where our students can do their sportive activities. There are sports fields such as basketball court, volleyball and football. There is also a swimming pool belonging to the metropolitan municipality in Çivril. Students can meet their sports needs here, as well as places where they can do trekking on weekends. There are also cycling tours and lanes. Işıklı Lake, which is 10-12 km away from our faculty, offers places with lotus gardens and fields in May and June. Here, a large number of tourists from home and abroad come and can visit the lotus fields by participating in the tours on Lake Işıklı. Again, minibuses depart from Çivril to Denizli every 20 minutes. Students can reach the main campus of Denizli at any time they want. They can benefit from the libraries here and other cultural areas. But there are places where they can spend 24 hours in Çivril. University culture is well established in Çivril. Apartments, restaurants, cafeterias, sports areas where students can spend their time have been beautifully built and presented to our students.
