In this respect, P.E.S. department will have qualified academic staff members and students both of whom will be capable of using the advanced educational technology. Thus, the department will be an outstanding institution in providing academic staff members for other universities' physical education and sports departments. At the same time, the department will produce projects and academic solutions for Turkey's existing problems and necessities in the area of physical education and sports.
Besides, P.E.S. department will more effectively use its expert human potential as an efficient source via educational seminars, certificate and in-service educational programs, and internet based distance education. By all means of this potential, the department will collaborate with the national institutions like Youth and Sport General Administration, National Olympic Committee, sport clubs, and sport federations so as to prepare Turkey to host big and international organizations.
