Women’s Application in Underrepresented Subjects

The KHAS Inspiring Women Mentorship Program is a special development initiative that brings together Kadir Has University’s outstanding female students with accomplished and inspiring women professionals from various fields. Its goal is to further strengthen the potential of young women and support their personal and professional growth.

Our students, each ranking first in their department, will embark on their career journeys with valuable guidance—enriched by experience, vision, and inspiration.

Through one-on-one meetings with experts in their respective fields, this program offers not only the exchange of knowledge but also the sharing of courage, motivation, and real-world experience at the heart of the process.

This unique mentorship experience represents one of the key steps that will carry the strong women of Kadir Has University into the future.

The table shows the gender distribution of senior-year students. Out of a total of 827 students, 473 are female (57.2%) and 354 are male (42.8%). This indicates a higher representation of female students in the final year.

KHAS PHD SCHOLARSHIPS: SUPPORTING WOMEN IN UNDERREPRESENTED FIELDS

Kadir Has University (KHAS) offers comprehensive graduate scholarship opportunities that empower both master’s and doctoral students to pursue advanced research and contribute to academic excellence. These scholarships are designed to ease financial barriers while fostering a vibrant research culture and encouraging innovation across disciplines.

All thesis-based master’s and PhD programs at KHAS are fully funded. The University covers 100% of the tuition fees for these students as part of its commitment to supporting education and research. This full scholarship model reflects KHAS’s dedication to providing equal opportunities for talented graduate students and ensuring that financial limitations do not hinder academic progress or innovation.

Aligned with the University’s institutional commitment to gender equality and inclusion, KHAS actively supports women scholars—particularly in fields where they remain underrepresented, such as engineering, technology, and computational sciences.

In 2024, a total of 242 graduate students benefited from these scholarships, of whom 64% were women. This reflects KHAS’s continuing efforts to strengthen gender balance and to ensure that women play an active role in shaping the future of science, design, and social innovation.

The following table lists graduate scholarship recipients across master’s and PhD programs in various departments. These students represent the next generation of researchers and professionals contributing to KHAS’s mission of academic excellence, diversity, and sustainable development.

This initiative supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 – Quality Education, 5 – Gender Equality, 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, and 10 – Reduced Inequalities.

Active Scholarship Students at Kadir Has University

At Kadir Has University, Active Scholarship Students are selected to gain professional experience while supporting their education. These students can work up to 40 hours per month, and their working hours are arranged in accordance with their class schedules to ensure academic priorities come first.

Every year, students have the opportunity to work in different administrative units, allowing them to explore diverse professional fields and develop a broad set of skills. The program is open to all students, and each administrative unit announces its own available positions. Students can then apply to the postings that match their interests and qualifications.

Through this initiative, Kadir Has University aims to provide meaningful, hands-on experience that enhances students’ employability and contributes to their personal and professional development.

KADİR HAS UNIVERSITY GENDER EQUALITY PLAN

KADİR HAS UNIVERSITY GENDER EQUALITY POLICY

Gender inequality is still one of the most common social problems both in Turkey and throughout the world in particular as a matter of justice and human rights. The problem of gender inequality includes the types of marginalization and discrimination faced by individuals based on gender. This covers all types of current practices and power imbalances concerning social patterns that appear as gender-based violence and discrimination, including those affecting transgender individuals. To attain the target of gender equality, it is required to question the power imbalances and unequal gender dynamics and, encourage fair access to resources and opportunities.

All people must be treated fairly and with dignity without any discrimination based on gender, ethnic origin, belief, sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, and similar grounds, which is a matter of human rights. As an academic institution embracing universal values, Kadir Has University also accepts this approach. As it is provided in article 10 of our Constitution, “Everyone is equal before the law without distinction as to language, race, color, sex, political opinion, philosophical belief, religion, and sect, or any such grounds.” Article 10 of the Constitution guarantees that it is the positive and direct obligation of the state to put into practice gender equality and, that positive action will not mean discrimination (Additional paragraph: 7/5/2004-5170/Article 1).

Our country is also one of the parties to the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. Gender equality is one of the Sustainable Development Goals that are explained in 17 articles by the United Nations. Likewise, gender equality is one of the priority policies of the Council of Europe of which Turkey is a member, and the Council of Europe sets forth the targets and methods in the Gender Equality Strategy documents in order to put into practice this policy.

Considering the academic principles and the objectives of the Policy on Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination; the Policy Document Intended to Prevent Gender-Based Harassment, Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault as well as the Directives and Practices of the Unit to Prevent Gender-Based Harassment, Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault; the research, projects and activities of the Gender and Women Studies Research Center on gender inequality and the Gender Studies Ph.D. Program, Kadir Has University is one of the few universities that directly deal with gender-based inequalities in Turkey and, has committed itself to serving as a role model developing the best practices in terms of gender equality.

The main objectives the KHAS Gender Equality Plan (GEP) are as follows:

Eliminate gender-based discriminatory practices in the fields of recruitment, employment security and career development of employees and, create practices intended to improve gender equality.

Corporate Culture, Management, and Leadership

Gender Equality Committee

A Gender Equality Committee (GEC) will be established, which is to be identified by and will operate reporting to the President. This committee will consist of academic staff, administrative staff and students, and meet on a regular basis to determine policies and make efforts in respect of gender equality. For the formation of the GEC, those who work in the field of gender equality and who are trained in this field will be prioritized. The GEC makes efforts to ensure not only the permanent staff and students of the university but also the businesses serving to our university and their employees accommodate themselves to the policies in the field of gender equality. Accordingly, the main tasks of the committee will be the activities of due diligence, continuing education, and monitoring and evaluation. The efforts made within the organization of the GEC will be reported to the senior management on a regular basis.

Due Diligence: The GEC will carry out necessary quantitative and qualitative data collections intended to determine the current condition of Kadir Has University in respect of gender equality. Within the scope of these efforts, the data will be analyzed in respect of the titles of researchers and academic staff, the male & female percentages by faculties, departments and units, and the male female male percentages among the conductors and researchers of the research projects and, the authors of the publications. In addition, the conditions and needs of those who feel that they are exposed to discrimination due to their gender identity and sexual orientation among the university staff and students will be identified by means of the reports from the Unit to Prevent Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault (UPSHSA).

Continuing Education: Seminars, workshops and projects will be organized with the participation of all the stakeholders within the scope of a time schedule that is to be jointly prepared by the faculties and the KHAS GEC in order to enhance the knowledge and awareness of the academicians, researchers, administrative staff, outsourced personnel and students in respect of sexual discrimination, and the affects thereof will be measured in a structured way.

Monitoring and Evaluation: After the formation of the KHAS GEC, the statistical and qualitative studies detailed under the title “Due Diligence” will be renewed every year, and the developments will be monitored and reported by the KHAS GEC to the President.

Career Development, Recruitment Process and Work-Life Balance

There is already a gender balance established in our university in respect of the number of both the students and the academic and administrative staff. In addition, significant steps have been taken with the intention to ensure gender equality in the employment and performance directives after the updates thereon in 2018, 2019 and 2020. There have been some improvements, for example, an academic person who takes a maternity/parental leave will not be included in the annual performance for a period of one year following the year they restarted to work, and the period used for these leaves will be added to the periodic performance period. Nevertheless, the concept of gender equality is a dynamic area so that it must be continuously monitored in the career development and recruitment processes, and thus the current improvement areas must be identified and, new practices must be developed accordingly. Our university takes necessary steps in cooperation with the KHAS GEC and the Directorate of Human Resources in order to ensure gender equality in the career development and recruitment processes.
