Marmara University Educational Outreach Activities
Marmara University carries out educational outreach activities outside the campus. These activities designed to engage the wider community, including alumni, local residents, and displaced people. Such projects generally aim to increase interaction with the society and to popularize education. Additionally, Marmara University ensures that its courses are accessible to everyone, regardless of ethnic background, disability status, migration status, or gender.
