- Traditional Opening Lectures
The opening lecture can be defined as the first lesson given at the opening ceremony of a new academic year of the Faculty. The opening lecture, which gives the Dean an oppurtunity to address new students, brings the students and the faculty members together in the same lecture hall at the opening of each academic year. The opening lecture will be given on a current or theoretical subject usually by a senior faculty member, but sometimes by a young and brilliant lecturer. At the end of the lecture, students turn back to their classes, and in the meantime new friendships have already been established and first sharings have been made…
The opening lecture was given for the first time in our Faculty on 15 November 1978, the first year of education and training, by deceased Professor Kudret AYITER, one of the founder lecturers, on the subject of “Roman Law and Current Law”. It has then become an academic tradition performed with the same enthusiasm in our Faculty each year.
