international values and philosopy to create Turkey’s brilliant future,

others, who cathers the international standards, questining, outgoing,
sensible to the social values, who has a developed cultured idea. Lets

Prof. Dr. Cengiz UTAŞ
Rector
O, Turkish Youth!
Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the
Turkish Independence and the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your
future. This foundation is your most precious treasure.
In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at
home and abroad who will wish to deprive you of this
treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend your
independence and your republic, you must not tarry
to weigh the possibilities and circumstances of the
situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities
and circumstances may turn out to be extremely
unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against your
independence and your republic, may have behind
them a victory unprecedented in the annals of the world.
It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses
of your beloved fatherland may be captured, all its
shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every
part of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than
all these circumstances, those who hold power within
the country may be in error, misguided and may even be
traitors. Furthermore, they may indentify their personal
interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey’s future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the
Turkish Independence and Republic.
You will find the strength you need in your noble blood.
Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK

KAYSERI
THE CITY OF KAYSERI
Erciyes Üniversity
2
Kayseri has a population of nearly 550 thousand and is both
a cultural, and industrial centre, with an incredible historical
background. Despite the history of the city dating back to 4000
B.C., its main claim to fame was attained in the era of Romans
as the centre of Cappadocia. The name Kayseri was originally
Casseria, because at some time in the history of the city, it was
reconstructed by Caesar. At the end of the 11th century, Kayseri
was conquered by the Anatolian Seljuks, and became a major
cultural and scientific centre. At this time, the first Turkish-Islamic campus in Anatolia was built - the Hunat Hatun Medresse
Complex. This religious building was dedicated to Hunat Hatun in 1276, and included a mosque, a medresse, Turkish baths
and a soup kitchen. In the era of the Anatolian Seljuks, a large
number of historical works, such as mosques, medresses and
tombs were constructed, and these have endured the duration
of time and can be visited today. There is also a historical covered bazaar, the third largest in Turkey, which is still a shopping
centre in the present-day Kayseri.
Kayseri lies on the Silk Road which resulted in Kayseri becoming
one of the first textile and industrial centers in Turkey. Kayseri is
still world famous for its hand-woven silk and wool carpets.
Kanish and Karum ruins, the Assyrian and Hittites centres, lie
22km to the east of Kayseri. As well as a great number of pre-

historic ruins and
abandoned buildings (Hittite, Assyrian, Greek and
Roman), the city
of Kayseri also has
in its possession
many
Ottoman
and Seljuk historical relics dating
back to these ancient civilizations.
A great many historical large inns
and caravansaries
can still be seen
in and around
the city - some of
which are spectacular. Sultan Han,
Karatay Caravansary, and İncesu
Karamustafa Pasha Caravansary to name but a few.
The mountain after which the university is named, Mount Erciyes, is 3,916m high and quite spectacular all year round.

This medresse, built as a Medical Medresse and a Lunatic Asylum, is known to be the very first medical centre in Anatolia and the first teaching hospital in the world. It was
built in 1205 in dedication to Gevher Nesibe Sultan,
daughter of the Sovereign of the Seljuks, Kılıçarslan
II, by her brother Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev I.. Today it
is used as a Medical History Museum and is managed by Erciyes University.

THE FIRST MEDICAL MEDRESSE IN
THE WORLD IS IN KAYSERİ !
This medical school medresse has been given various names
- Gevher Nesibe Şifaiyesi, Kayseri Daruşşifası, Şifa-Hatun Medresesi, Kayseri Maristanı, Darüş-şifa Medresesi, Çifte Medrese,
Çifteler, Gıyasiye, and Kayseri Tıbbiyesi – which shows how important it was throughout its history.
KAYSERI
Around Kayseri there are many places of natural beauty - the
Taurus Mountains, Kapuzbaşı Waterfalls near Yahyalı and Sultan Sazlığı Bird and Wildlife Reserve. Kayseri, the centre of the
Cappadocia region, is 80km from these wonderful caves and
underground cities which used to be home to ancient civilizations.

Erciyes University was founded in 1978 under the name of Kayseri University. The Gevher Nesibe Medical Faculty, which was
opened affiliated to Hacettepe University, Ankara, in 1969 and
Kayseri Business Administration Faculty, opened in 1977, constituted the nucleus of Erciyes University in 1978. four years later
in 1982, two other Higher Education Institutions in Kayseri were
incorporated into the university – the Faculty of Engineering
and the Faculty of Theology. Its name then became Erciyes University - a university in its own right. The name Erciyes was inspired by Mount Erciyes which towers above the main university
campus and the city of Kayseri.
Today, in addition to the
main campus 3km from the
city, there are other branches of Erciyes university in
neighbouring towns and
cities. The university today
includes a total of 17 faculties, 7 colleges, 8 vocational
high schools, 4 institutions,
5 departments, 10 research
centers and a highly developed research hospital with
1,350 beds.
in 1995 - the Faculties of Veterinary Sciences in Kayseri,
in 1997 - the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences
(Yozgat) and the Faculty of Arts and Science (Yozgat),
in 2002 - the Faculty of Dentistry, the Faculty of Communication, the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Pharmacology.
The following colleges provide a four-year (8 semester) education: Vocational
School of Physical Education, Atatürk Health College, Civil Aviation College,
School of Tourism and Hotel Management, Nevşehir

Before this center was established,
such research was carried out
abroad. Today, this clinic prevents
large sums of foreign currency going to other countries and
