Özet:

Orientalism, according to Edward Said, is that the West constructs and defines the East in accordance with its own thought and superior position.  Acting with such thought, the Orientalists, regarded Islamic religion and civilization as the locomotive of the East in their academic activities. So they made İslam the subject of research by placing it in the object position. In this context, the Qur'an and Qur'anic sciences, which construct the essence of the fundamental dynamics and values, that shape the individual and social lives of Muslims, are the subjects that have been the most researched and examined by the Orientalist tradition of science. This study focuses on identifying and classifying the graduate theses made in Turkey based on the Orientalists' researches on the Holy Quran. In this study, YÖK National Thesis Center study (YOK UTM) and Faculty of Theology Thesis Catalog Turkey offered by the Religious Foundation of the Islamic Research Center   (İFTK ISAM) databases were used. In order to identify the theses related to the subject, key words were searched from the databases of the mentioned institutions and the completed theses were classified according to the main subjects of Tafsir and Qur'an Sciences. This study introduces the completed theses, but it will guide the orientalist research on which subjects of the Qur'an sciences may be the subject of the new theses.
