Turkish Naval Academy
Encyclopedia
The Turkish Naval Academy is a four year co-educational military academy located in the district of Tuzla
in Istanbul. Its mission is to develop cadets mentally and physically for service as commissioned officers in the Turkish Navy
. It must not be confused with Naval War College (Deniz Harp Akademisi)
For the education and training at the Turkish Naval Academy, graduates from the Turkish Naval High School
(Deniz Lisesi) are admitted without an examination, whereas civilian high school graduates majored in mathematics and science may also be admitted if needed.
Naval Shipyard" was founded during the reign of Sultan Mustafa III
on the command of Grand Vizier
and Admiral Cezayirli Gazi Hasan Pasha
. François Baron de Tott
, a French
officer and advisor to the Ottoman military, was appointed for the establishment of a course to provide education on plane geometry
and navigation
. The course, attended also by civilian captains of the merchant marine, was given on board of a galleon
anchored at Kasimpaşa
in Istanbul and lasted three months.
The temporary course turned into a continuous education on land with the establishment of "Naval Mathematical College" in February 1776. With growing number of cadets, the college building at the naval shipyard was extended. On October 22, 1784, the college, renamed the "Imperial Naval Engineering School" , started its education for three years in the new building. From 1795 on, the training was divided into navigation and cartography
for officers of the deck
, and naval architecture
and shipbuilding
for naval engineers.
ordered the construction of a new school building. It was decided that until the completion of the new facility, the navigation division of the school be transferred temporarily to Heybeliada, an island in the Sea of Marmara
. In 1838, the naval school moved into its new building in Kasımpaşa. With the beginning of the reformation efforts
, the school was renamed to "Naval School" and continued to serve in Kasımpaşa for 12 years. Then, it was relocated 1850 to Heybeliada for the last time.
The facilities of the naval school on Heybeliada consisted of 34 rooms for 150 cadets, a 30-bed hospital with a pharmacy, a printing house with a bookbinder's shop, and a rich library. The training followed English education system, and some lessons were even taught by English instructors. In that period, in addition to the name "Naval School", it was also called "Naval School of The Great" , "Naval Technical School" (Mekteb-i Fünun-i Bahriye) or "Naval Technical School of The Great" (Mekteb-i Fünun-i Bahriye-i Şahane).
During the reign of Sultan Abdülâziz
, the number of the cadets increased, and the education program was improved. The training program was extended parallel to technological development of the century, and a division for marine engineering
was added to operate and maintain steam engine
s. Cadets were educated four years in the Naval High School, and they were trained four more years in the Naval Academy, whereas the last two years were spent on board the school ship
.
During the Second Constitutional Era
, an upgraded education system was adapted in 1909 from the Royal Naval Academy
. In the years of the Balkan Wars
, the educational system was modified. Hence, the graduates of the four-year Naval High School received sea training for one year on board the school ship as a midshipman
followed by three years training in the navy in the rank of ensign
. Upon graduation, they assumed their duties by being promoted to Lieutenant-Commander grade. The school, nicknamed the "Island School", had the property of being most significant school of Turkey with respect to both educational system and social life.
. Graduates underwent a course for another year and entered the Navy after being promoted to engineer (ensign).
"Heybeliada Naval School" (Heybeliada Bahriye Mektebi) was given the name of "Naval High School" (Deniz Lisesi) by the command of General Chief of Staff
on May 27, 1928, and the curriculum of military schools was adopted in the following education term. This new education and training system was applied for two academic years. Naval High School and Naval Core School were re-united at the facilities of Heybeliada under the name of "Naval Academy and High School" (Deniz Harp Okulu ve Lisesi).
broke out, and Germans began to occupy the Balkans in 1941, the relocation of the Naval School to Anatolia
became necessary. On May 23, 1941, Naval Academy and High School were transferred to the Infantry Barracks in Mersin
. The institution remained at this place unsuitable for its educational purposes until September 9, 1946, when it finally returned to Heybeliada.
In 1974, the education term was increased to four years and the curriculum was extended in regard of the modern technologies and sciences with electrical
, electronic
and mechanical engineering
, operations research
, management science, systems engineering
, communication
s, computer science
, shipbuilding, oceanography
and international relations
. First officers having studied in this program graduated in 1978. With the beginning of the academic term 1986-1987, these modern fields of study are fully implemented in the curriculum as majors.
, President of Turkey and an alumnus of the Naval School, laid the foundation.
The Naval Academy facilities in Tuzla were opened by the Turkish President Kenan Evren
on July 31, 1985. The academy left Heybeliada to the Naval High School
.
First officers from the new campus graduated in 1989. At the beginning of 1990, the status of military academies in regard of the Bachelor of Science
concept at universities was discussed. With the beginning of the academic term 1991-1992, the education programs at military academies were upgraded in a manner equivalent to the engineering programs at Boğaziçi University
, Istanbul Technical University
and Middle East Technical University
. The graduates receive a BSc degree upon graduation from the Naval Academy without requiring further studies in post-graduate programs of the technical universities in Turkey. The first officers with a BSc degree in addition to a Naval Academy diploma left the institution in 1997.
Control and electronic engineering branch, a sub-division of electric/electronics division, was separated as control systems and computer engineering in 1993, starting from the second class. To become harmonized with STCW-95 agreements (international midshipman educational program), a new educational program starting from the first class was applied in 1995. Moreover, the number of vocational and foreign language courses was increased, graduation project was extended from one-semeter to four-semester course, meteorology
and intelligence
courses were added.
For the training of officers for the marines and engineering corps
branches, graduates of civilian high schools were admitted in 1995 to the first class. However, this type of sourcing process was abondened the next year. The first officers of marines and engineering corps were commissioned in 1998.
In 2000, the academy's organization was restructured by reconstructing the branches granting engineering degrees and increasing the number of major science branches from four to nine. The same year, the "Naval Sciences and Engineering Institute" was founded for postgraduate studies in order to meet the needs of the Turkish Armed Forces
, starting from 2001-2002 academic term.
According to military training cooperation agreements signed with friendly and allied countries, guest students, especially from Turkic Republics
as well as from Albania
and Pakistan
were admitted in the 1993-1994 academic year.

Education
Until 1953, education term at the Naval Academy was two years, the first year theoretical at the school and the last year practice in the Navy. In 1953, four-year line system education was adopted. In the first two years, the students were cadets and in the following two years officers. With the academic term 1969-1970, the education structure was reorganized such as the cadets studied three years and the officers one year.

The transfer of the academy to a more convenient location arose as a necessity, due to increasing demands of the Turkish Navy over personnel and place as well as transportation problems of the island of Heybeliada.
