The mission of the Turkish Education Association, founded in 1928, has been to lead and support the education system in our country. Beyond instruction and administration, student personality services are emphasized within the education system to facilitate this dual mission and to promote students’ well-being and adaptation. At the core of these services lie psychological counseling and guidance (PDR) services.
In line with the Turkish Education Association’s fundamental mission of leading and supporting the national education system, there has been a growing need to strengthen guidance and psychological counseling services—particularly those implemented in schools and aimed at enhancing students’ well-being and adjustment levels.
The thesis-based program aims to equip students with strong theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and the ability to conduct scientific research.

Along with innovative core courses, the elective course pool allows students to focus on current topics that align with their individual interests.
