Dear Students,

Silopi Vocational School commenced its educational journey on May 5, 2011, as part of Şırnak University, initially with one program, 74 students, and a team of 4 academic and 3 administrative staff. Since its establishment, our school has continuously grown in both student and faculty numbers, and it continues its educational mission as a reputable, dedicated, and resolute institution aligned with the vision, mission, and core goals of Şırnak University.

A university education is not only a place for students to acquire foundational and professional knowledge but also a setting where they prepare for life. In today’s world, where competition intensifies in a globalized environment and science, knowledge, and technology are increasingly emphasized, our primary duty is to equip you to navigate and excel in this challenging landscape. In this context, I am confident that our vocational school, along with its dedicated faculty, staff, and students, will continue to cultivate individuals who contribute value to their profession, knowledge, country, and humanity—nurturing innovative, competitive, and principled graduates.

As a vocational school, our goal is to provide education that equips students with the essential skills required by modern civilization, enabling them to adapt to advancements in their fields, meet the increasing demands for knowledge within society, and respond effectively to the needs of the business world. We aim to produce skilled, talented, and entrepreneurial individuals who possess the knowledge and abilities sought by today’s employers.

Since its inception, our school has graduated 707 students. Currently, we operate five programs across four departments, all within the framework of daytime education. In the 2024-2025 academic year, 198 new students were admitted through the ÖSYM placement system. In alignment with our university’s physical resources and the regional and national development goals, we plan to expand with new programs and increase the number of enrolled students.

Our vocational school aims to distinguish itself both nationally and internationally by providing high-quality education that emphasizes practical skills, thereby empowering graduates with strong application capabilities. We strive to be a forward-thinking institution, collaborating with the business sector to address the demand for a highly qualified workforce. By fostering teamwork, openness to communication, and innovation, we aspire to produce effective solutions for the evolving needs of society.

I congratulate all of our dedicated staff for their hard work and wish our students every success.

With respect and affection,

Dr. Hasan Osmanoğlu
Director
