About of The Program

In today's world, where everything is connected to a digital network, the profession of computer programming has become indispensable for societies aspiring to produce technology. Changing technological habits are also altering the expected tasks of programmers. Specialized human resources in not only desktop, internet, or mobile programming but also in areas such as Machine Learning, Big Data, Data Science, and Cybersecurity will become the most important assets of societies shaping the future. With our education plan created in line with all these awareness, we aim to continuously progress towards the goals set by Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk at Midyat Vocational School Computer Programming Department. With our On-campus and Distance Learning programs, we have the opportunity to meet with students from every region of Turkey. In a short period of two years, we gather many great memories. Through the knowledge and experience exchange we continue with our graduated students, we become informed about the current needs of both public and private sectors, and update our education plan accordingly.
