Our Mission and Vision

Our Mission

Drawing inspiration from Ibn Khaldun University’s ideals of “intellectual independence” and “open civilisation”, IHU TÖMER is committed to teaching Turkish on a global scale. Our approach goes beyond mere practical communication; we view Turkish as the primary vehicle for our deep-rooted conception of civilisation, stretching from Asia to Anatolia, and our historical legacy.

By blending contemporary teaching methods, such as integrating Learning Management Systems, designing digital content, and carrying out task-based fieldwork, with our historical memory, IHU TÖMER offers international students the opportunity to experience “learning by doing” beyond the classroom. IHU TÖMER is committed to educating students to become 'bridge figures' who can use Turkish naturally in their academic, professional and social lives, and who can serve as cultural ambassadors between Turkey and their home regions.

Our Vision

In line with the principle of 'From Tradition to the Future', our aim is to become a globally recognised centre of excellence in Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language, integrating the historical and cultural richness of the Turkish language with the dynamics of today's digital transformation. Focusing on Turkey and the Turkish language, our aim is to be a leading institution that produces original educational materials supported by audiovisual storytelling, gamification and interactive digital systems. We also aim to guide scientific research in the field through innovative curricula in both online and in-person education, and to pioneer the positioning of Turkish as a respected language of science, art and academia on the international stage.
