1 Overview Of The British Council
The British Council is the United Kingdom’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities. Its purpose is to build engagement and trust for the UK through the exchange of knowledge and ideas between people worldwide. It seeks to achieve its aims by working in education, science, governance, English and the arts. In 2012-13, its programmes reached a total audience of 550 million people worldwide and we engaged directly with 10.8 million.
The British Council was established in 1934 and incorporated by Royal Charter in 1940. It is registered as a charity in England and Wales (charity no. 209131) and Scotland (charity no. SCO37733). It is also an executive non-departmental public body, with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office as its sponsoring department.
Its primary charitable objects are set out in the Charter and are stated to be:-

Promote a wider knowledge of the United Kingdom; Develop a wider knowledge of the English language; Encourage cultural, scientific, technological and other educational co-operation between the
United Kingdom and other countries; Otherwise promote the advancement of education.

British Council Turkey
The British Council has been operating in Turkey since 1940. We currently have over 50 staff located in Ankara and Istanbul and active outreach through partners in cities across the country. We are ambitious in Turkey to build on the British Council’s respected brand by responding to new opportunities from government, business and individuals for high quality English language learning and qualifications, engaging new audiences through a world class arts programme from the UK, strengthening collaboration with UK in higher education, skills development, science and innovation

through collaborative partnerships, providing new marketing services to UK higher education institutions and offering UK experience in education and social development in support of Turkey’s reform agenda. Our Examinations business is among the biggest in Europe, we have plans to open the first in a network of teaching centres next year and are investing in growth of client contract management services.
Ankara, as the capital and seat of government, is the centre of our partnership work in support of Turkey’s national reform initiatives in English, Education and Society and our country management base, including Finance and HR functions. Istanbul, as Turkey’s commercial and creative hub, is the base for our customer-facing services in Examinations, Education, Arts, Marketing and Communications, and offers potential for increasing relationships with the private and international sectors. Istanbul also acts as the base for our Wider Europe regional team and provides services for regional meetings and events.
