The fields of employment for our graduates include teaching positions in primary and secondary schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education, where they can teach Religious Culture and Moral Knowledge courses as well as vocational courses in Imam Hatip High Schools. They can also work in various roles within the central, provincial, and overseas organizations of the Presidency of Religious Affairs, such as muftis, deputy muftis, religious affairs specialists, preachers, Quran course instructors, imams, and muezzins.
