Highlighting the significance of their new vision in providing students with opportunity to receive more than one certificate including a diploma of their specialty and a professional certificate enabling them to be equipped not only as teachers but also in other fields concerning their specialties, Professor Mirici noted that they had widened the employment opportunities for their students by signing mutual agreements with various educational institutions. Touching upon the crucial role of collaboration and interaction in achieving the goals, Professor Mirici stated that they had designed certificate programs in collaboration with Near East University Lifelong Education Center (YABEM) to provide students with opportunity to receive not only a diploma from their faculty but also a certificate in a relevant field of science. He also underlined that "Meeting with the Dean" event, which was realized at least twice a year with the participation of students and faculty members, provided opportunity for students to assess their educational processes and plan their careers.

In order to provide platform for sharing and exchanging information, we annually organize “International Conference on Interdisciplinary Educational Relations (ICIER)" at our faculty which has a scientific journal called "Near East University Online Journal of Education".

Along with other international accreditations, our faculty also offers programs within the accreditation process of EBDAD approved by YÖK. In order to accommodate the demands of our graduates in pursuit of their advanced academic and professional careers, our faculty offers master’s and doctoral degree programs that approved by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) and the Higher Education Planning, Evaluation Accreditation and Coordination Council (YÖDAK). To this end, we are always in collaboration with the Graduate School of Educational Sciences to design a new myriad of high quality and goal-oriented graduate programs. Our faculty has many international institutional partnerships. We attach great importance on an inclusive environment in education as it facilitates communication, interaction and access to information. We adopt the principles regarding accessible administration, academic environment with spirit of sharing, productive education and happy faculty. We are determined to continue to be a model faculty, which embraces all educational and scientific innovations offered by our university” said he.
