During the preparatory period, the Agency launched a massive promotion campaign throughout Turkey in order to inform potential beneficiaries about the programmes. As soon as Turkey joined the Community programmes in 2004,
Turkey with a large number of student populations offers great potential for student mobility.
There were approximately 1,023,228 short-cycle
or pre-bachelors; 1,152,265 first-cycle or undergraduate; 140,043 second-cycle or postgraduate;

staff. There were approx 20,000 foreign students
registered at Turkish universities during the academic year 2009/10. Admission to the universities is through a centrally held “university entrance
examination” administered by the Student Selection and Placement Centre (ÖSYM). The students
become entitled to apply for the central entrance examination after completing primary (8 successive years) and secondary school (minimum 4
years) education.
In 2010, approximately 1,700,000 students applied for the central university entrance examination and only 327,865 students were placed at
universities for bachelor degrees. A considerable more number of students (around 233,113)
were registered for pre-bachelor degrees. In other words the examination is very competitive.
International students wishing to pursue a full
time degree programme at Turkish universities
are required to take a separate exam called Foreign Student Examination (YÖS) which is also administered by ÖSYM.

higher education institutions in Istanbul, 14 in
Ankara and 7 in Izmir. Majority of the foundation (private) HEIs have been established in these
three major cities.
her education institutions in Turkey. They enjoy academic autonomy and the status of public legal entity. The universities offer two years
pre-bachelors (short cycle); 4 year bachelors (first
cycle); 5 year for some disciplines, such as veterinary medicine and dentistry courses (master level) and 6 years medical courses. After completing at least a 4-year bachelor degree, the students are admitted at the accredited universities for a master degree. The minimum period
for a student to complete a master programme (second cycle) is two years for ‘master with
thesis’ and a year and half for ‘master without
thesis’. In the ‘master with thesis’ programmes
students are requested to attend at least a oneyear-course and submit a dissertation. Possession of a master degree is traditionally necessary
for admission to a doctoral degree (third cycle).
However, there are some universities which accept students to a PhD degree without a master
diploma. The minimum period for a PhD degree
Turkish Higher Education System
In 1981, in accordance with the new Higher Education Law (No: 2547), the administration of higher education in Turkey was comprehensively
restructured. The system thereby became centralised, with all higher education institutions
tied to the Council of Higher Education (CoHE
or YÖK). After this restructuring, all institutions
of higher education were designed as universities. Expansion of higher education throughout
the country was achieved, application to higher
education was centralised, and a central university exam and placement were introduced. In addition to public universities, the first non-profit
foundation university in Turkey started to provide education for students in 1986.
The CoHE has 21 members 9 members of which
are elected to an Executive Board to carry out
day-to-day functions of the Council.
The Inter-University Council is composed of two
persons from each university, the rector and one
member elected by the Senate of the university.
The main duties are to co-ordinate and evaluate teaching, research and publication activities;
to propose measures concerning academic staff;
and to establish rules and regulations regarding
doctoral work and granting of academic titles
and degrees. (www.uak.gov.tr)
Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is the constitutionally established authority in the higher
Academic calendar generally starts in mid- September and ends in mid June with a 2-4 week
winter term break in January/February. Some
universities also run summer schools during the
months of July and August. HEIs have dramatically advanced in terms of both quality and quantity in recent years. Some Turkish universities
have had strong links with various universities in
other countries, through which, prior to Turkey’s
participation in the Erasmus programme, they
had already achieved a substantial number of
student and teaching staff mobility. Some universities are involved in trans-national cooperation projects as well. This publication provides basic information about the HEIs, their major departments, faculties and language of instruction
all of which were provided by the HEIs themselves. They alphabetically listed under “State Institutions” and “Foundation (private) Institutions”
headings.
The Turkish National Agency appreciates the cooperation extended and information provided by
the HEIs in the preparation of this publication.
The Agency plays a coordinating role and the res-
ponsibility for the correctness of the information
lies with the HEIs themselves.
The Turkish National Agency, in anticipation of
this publication to be of assistance to students
and teaching staff of universities in other programme countries, sincerely wishes all parties concerned successful outcomes as part of the Erasmus programme.

the programme before they write a thesis. In other words Turkish universities already implement
Bologna two and three cycle system. Majority of
the Turkish universities have already started implementing ECTS in various departments and also
many universities have completed their Diploma
Supplement work. Although education in most
universities is commonly in Turkish, medium of
instruction can be partially or totally in a foreign
language (generally in English). An act of Parliament is needed to establish an HEI.

rea: 814,578 square kilometres (3% in Europe called
Thrace; 97% in Asia called Anatolia). The length of
the land borders of the country is 2,875 kilometres;
its coastline is 8,333 kilometres long, while its landmass is approximately 550 kilometres wide and about 1,500
kilometres long. It has a number of high mountains; the highest is Mount Ararat (5,137 meters), famous as a possible site
for Noah’s Ark. The country is characterized by seven geographical regions each of which has a different landscape. This
results in significant variations in climatic conditions from region to region. The population growth rate is about 1.5%
and 65% of the population live in urban areas.
Population of Turkey is 72 561 312 according to 2009 statistics. There are 81 provinces in Turkey. The three most rapidly
growing cities are Istanbul (11,million), Ankara (4,5 million)
and Izmir (3.5 million).
Turkey is a country with a young population. The 0-14 age
group is 30%, the 15-64 age group 64.4% and the 65+ age
group 5.6% of the overall population.
Turkey is a member of many international organisations such
as NATO, World Trade Organisation, Organisation of Islamic
Conference, Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organisation,
and the Economic Cooperation Organisation. It is also a candidate for full EU membership1.

History
Historical sites, AEGEAN REGION
Turks started to settle in Anatolia during the period of the
Great Seljuk Empire in the early 11th century. Anatolia has
been called the "cradle of civilizations". With its four seasons,
its flora comprising of thousands of species, its fertile lands,
Turkey has been home to some of the earliest civilizations of
the world. These include the Hatis, Hittites, Phrygians, Urartians, Lydians, Ionians, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks and Ottomans. Traces of these civilizations can
still be seen in many remarkable ancient sites located in all regions of the country. Indeed, Turkey can be even regarded as
an open museum. Two of the Seven Wonders of the World are
in Turkey: The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus and The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. Many of the country’s famous historical sites can be found in the webpages of the Turkish
Ministry of Culture and Tourism .

After the decline of the Ottoman Empire after World War I,
Atatürk founded the Republic of Turkey in 1923. After a series of reforms initiated with the foundation of Republic, the
roots for Modern Turkey were established.

Climate
B
ecause Turkey is located in different climate
zones, it is possible to enjoy the four seasons and different climates simultaneously
in the country. People can go to the sea and
see snowy mountains at the same time too. Turkey is
also affected by the Mediterranean climate in which
summers can be hot and arid. However, thanks to its
location in the Eastern Mediterranean basin and its
surface roughness, the country has dry subtropical
areas as well as regions with abundant precipitation.

Culture
Turkey's cultural fabric is a mosaic of diverse cultures rooted
deeply in history. By virtue of its geographical position, Turkey
has been at the axis of the cultures of the East, the West, the
Middle East, the Mediterranean world and Islam. Anatolia, in
fact, is one of the world's oldest human habitats.
Anatolia's cultural variety is such that we can see great cultural
differences even in areas geographically quite close to each
other. This galaxy of cultures can be observed all around the
country in its music, food, architecture and traditions. Turkish
traditional blue tiles, for instance, are quite famous. One of
the most famous mosques in Turkey is the Blue Mosque of Istanbul. Students may wish to visit Miniatürk in Istanbul where
they will be able to see many monuments and historical buildings in miniature size.
99 percent of the people of Turkey are Moslem. Orthodox
Christians, Jews, Catholics, Protestants and other Christian
sects make up the rest. Everyone, however, has freedom of religious belief and is free to practice his or her faith.

Turkey is a parliamentary democratic state with a single chamber. The Grand National Assembly is comprised of 550 members who are elected directly for five year terms. The Members of the Assembly elect the President of the Republic for a seven year term. Turkey is a secular state and is
the only country among Islamic countries to practice secularism.

tudents may wish to go shopping in old traditional
markets as well as modern shopping malls. However,
they can also find many items in the local markets.
Supermarkets and many shops are open until at least
10:00 pm. There are even some 24 hours open shops and
restaurants in many cities. Hence, people may no difficultiy in
finding their needs. Since Turkey is on bridge between east
and west, it has and influence from each culture. Hence, every
city has a spice bazaar. In big cities, there is a mobile vegetable
and fruit market once in a week where people can buy fresh
and cheaper groceries. It is advisable to learn where and when
these markets are taking place.
Students should obtain Acceptance Letter from the host institution before they arrive in Turkey. As can be seen from the table above, students
from many countries can obtain their visas at the airport by paying the
stated visa fees. Within 15 days of their arrival, they should go to the Foreign Relations Department at the Local Police Headquarters and submit the following documents in order to obtain the residence permit:
1. Student certification (issued by the host university, stating the start
and the end of the study period in Turkey)
2. Photocopies of relevant pages of the student passport (showing the
validity period of the passport and entrance date stamp at the airport)
3. 4 coloured pictures

form should be filled and printed in two copies and in double sided).
Note that the requirements listed in the previous documents are not
necessary for Erasmus students since the Turkish National Police inform
all police departments about the procedures.
The residence permit is issued within a day to a week depending on the
volume of work at the relevant police department. No additional cost is
required from international students.

he Academic year generally starts in mid-September and
ends in mid June, with a 2-4 weeks winter term break in January /February. Some universities also run summer schools
during the months of July and August.
Turkish universities are in line with the Bologna Process in many aspects:
for example, Turkish universities have been using a three-cycle system
since early 1970s. A typical bachelor degree can be earned in 4 years.
Graduate programs consist of masters and doctoral programs and are
coordinated by institutes for graduate studies. Master's programs are
specified as "with thesis" and "without thesis". Access to doctoral
programs requires a master's degree. However, in certain disciplines,
such as medical science, veterinary medicine, and dentistry, a degree
can be achieved in either 5 or 6 years minimum.
Turkey has adopted the escalation of higher education in terms of
both quality and quantity as a major developmental goal. Some Turkish universities have very strong international links. They have been
carrying out various international projects and student exchanges for
years. After the establishment of the Turkish National Agency in 2003,
Turkish Universities have started participating in the EU Erasmus
programme. Many Turkish Universities have been actively involved in
ECTS work. Since 1 April 2004, Turkey has fully participated in
Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci and Youth community programmes. In
the last two years, great interest has been evident about activities in
Turkish Universities in terms of student and teaching staff mobility
[check]. That trend is expected to continue and even increase dramatically in the coming years. The Erasmus mobility figures can be seen in
the table below:

Turkey offers a healthy and welcoming environment for students. Many universities have appointed advisers and offer
services to help international students adjust to life in Turkey.
Some universities have introduced orientation programs to acquaint international students to their academic programmes.
By this way, I visited the beautiful Istanbul, cooked manti with
some women in a village, learnt common Turkey and French
history in Canakkale, and discovered the existence and meaning of the Turning Men (Whirling Dervishes) in Konya
(Mevlana)… and many other trips are still waiting for me.
One French Erasmus student who studied in Turkey in the academic year of 2005/06 has this to report about her experience of studying in Turkey:
“Erasmus… this great traveller gave his name to the wellknown exchange program which allows students from Europe
to discover different countries, cultures, civilisations and people all around Europe. I have taken this opportunity! And I am
now in Turkey, spending one of my 5 years education school
here.
Of course, one of the main important aspects of an Erasmus
exchange is to meet with new people. This point cannot just be
described. Everyone will create his own experience, live it. But
I can say that for me, Turkish people are responsible for a big
part of the well going of my adventure.
Different reasons made me decided to spend one year abroad:
one of them is that I wanted to change! Air, environment, lessons… so why would not change the country? Let’s do it!
Also I had heard really good reports about other students’ experiences, as it opened their mind, they learnt a lot about
themselves and others, country, culture… So let’s try it too.
When I left France to come to Turkey, I really did not know
what I would discover here. I had no idea about the country,
the population, the university and so on.
Well, I can say that all my wishes were fulfilled! Everything was
so new, different… just amazing! It is a real chance to live with
Turkish people, and not just be there as a tourist. Indeed Turkish culture is so rich. I am speaking about food, history, geographical and political issues, religion, disparities in life styles
(it is very interesting to compare some families who are living
with old Ottoman culture and new students generation who
are more modern but also very different than in Europe). I love
travelling in Turkey. Everywhere, I learn.
Right now, this adventure is going really well and I will keep
souvenirs forever, for sure!”

Student Life in Turkey
Computing
M
any universities provider students
with access to high speed internet
connections and have up-to-date
computer labs while computers are also
available in each department. When students
register for the semester, they need to sign
up for a computer account as well. They then
get a password and an e-mail account. Students can register for their courses online at
many universities.
Orientation
Programmes
Almost all universities organise orientation programmes
for incoming students to show them around the campus
and the city. They can also take cultural courses as well as
benefit from tips offered on how to survive and enjoy
themselves in the city. During this programme, local students help incoming ones until they settle down at the
university.

Library
Each university has its own library storing relevant books and
periodicals. However, many universities subscribe to databanks
which provides access to tens of thousands of periodicals. The
universities benefit from an inter library-loan system which
facilitates lending or borrowing books from other libraries
throughout Turkey. Students may wish to search online library
catalogues of the university and can reserve books via the internet. In big cities, students may wish to visit other universities and their libraries for study purposes.
Accommodation
Campus universities generally offer all sorts of accommodation facilities. State-owned dormitories are also available in
some cases. Many universities have set aside seats for international students in their dormitories. Prices of such forms of
accommodations are often cheaper than in many European
countries.
Students who wish to live off-campus can co-share flats with
their friends. Rents vary according to the city and the district.
The Office for International Students helps incoming students
to find reasonable and suitable accommodation.
T
Language
he official language of Turkey is Turkish (Türkçe)
which is not an Indo-European language. It belongs
to the Altay branch of the Ural-Altay linguistic family. The Turkic languages constitute a language family of some thirty languages; this is the 7th most widely spoken
language among the thousands of languages spoken in the
world and is spoken across a vast area from Eastern Europe to
Siberia and Western China with an estimated 200 million
speakers, including native and tens of millions of second- language speakers [check; are you talking about the language or
the language system?]. More than 90 percent of all contemporary speakers of Altaic languages speak a Turkish language.
The people of this region were nomads and Turks, too, for
centuries led nomadic lives and took their language along
wherever they moved. The Turkish language family now
stretches from the Mongolian lands and China in the East to
present-day Turkey. The Turkish language at present is widely
spoken in the following countries and regions: Turkey, Northern Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Turkistan,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Western China. In addition, Turkish is spoken by several million emigrants in the European Union. It is also spoken in Balkan countries such as the
Republic of Macedonia, some parts of Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Nagorno Karabagh, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania, Kosovo etc.
A major change in the language took place in 1928 when a
Latin- based alphabet was adopted instead of the Arabic script.
Now the Turkish alphabet has 29 letters, 8 of which are vowels and 21 are consonants. The Turkish language is written
phonetically, that is to say, every letter is pronounced while
reading.

A number of Turkish universities have been selected by the
Turkish National Agency to organise Erasmus Intensive Language Course where students can learn Turkish to help them in
their everyday communication. Interest in learning Turkish is
growing rapidly among incoming Erasmus students. For example, during summer 2006, 165 students enrolled in these
courses, whereas in the previous year the figure was 107. However, many universities offer courses in foreign languages,
chiefly English, partially or completely. Therefore, international
students may not find it difficult to get by at the universities.
Nevertheless, knowledge of Turkish could prove to be useful to
talk to local people and when you go shopping. One must remember though that cities like Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir and
other tourist spots will pose no problems to people who do
not know Turkish.

T
urkey is internationally famous for its rich "cuisine".
The food served, however, will vary from geographical region to region. One can only conclude that
the evolution of the rich and varied cuisine was not
an accident. As was the case with other grand cuisines of the
world, the delectable and different dishes that can be tasted
are the result of the combination of three key elements: a nurturing environment; regional differentiation; and the legacy
of an imperial tradition. Hundreds of cooks specializing in different types of dishes, all eager to please the royal palate, no
doubt played their part in perfecting the Cuisine that we can
savour today. The Palace Kitchen, supported by a complex social structure, a vibrant urban life, specialization of labour,
trade, and total control of the Spice Road led to the evolution
of a splendid culinary culture in the capital of a mighty Empire.
Börek
Food
Moreover, since the Turkish State of Anatolia is a millennium
old its cuisine, too, is rich historically. Tradition is the key; as
Ibn'i Haldun wrote, "the religion of the King, in time, becomes
that of the People", an observation which also holds for the
King's food. Thus, the reign of the Ottoman Dynasty during
600 years, and a seamless cultural transition into present-day
modern Turkey has led to the evolution of a grand Cuisine
through differentiation, refinement and perfection of dishes,
as well as their sequence and combination of meals.
It is only rarely that all the three conditions listed above meet
as they do in French, Chinese and Turkish Cuisine. Turkish Cuisine also benefits from being at the cross-roads of Far-East and
Mediterranean food habits. All these unique characteristics
and history have bestowed upon Turkish Cuisine a rich and
varied number of dishes, which can be prepared and combined
with other dishes in meals of almost infinite variety, but always
in a non-arbitrary way. This has led to development of regional
cooking styles. Needless to say, Turkish Cuisine is an integral
aspect of the nation’s culture and part of the rituals of everyday life. It reflects spirituality, in forms that are specific to it,
through symbolism and practice .

In all universities good quality food is available at reasonable
prices. Cafes or restaurants around campuses or at the city centres provide options for eating out. Students may also prefer to
do their own cooking. They may shop in local markets which
offer a variety of healthy, fresh food at very reasonable prices.

Entertainment
I
n each region and in each city, cultural
events take place all year long. They can take
part in diverse festivals or in religious or official holiday events and attend shows and
concerts. Students also have the opportunity to go
to cinemas, theatres, concerts, and can entertain
themselves while in the campus by being part of student clubs and attending entertainment events organized for them, including pop concerts. Students may
even get the opportunity to participate in traditional
Turkish wedding parties.
Music
Turkey has a rich traditional of popular/rock music. Music has always
been an important tool to express feelings, happiness, sadness, and reflections etc. of Turkish people. However most of the songs are about
love!
One of the most internationally popular Turkish singers is Tarkan who
sings also in English and who gave concerts throughout Europe in summer 2006. Sezen Aksu is also quite popular among young and middleaged people because of her sentimental songs. Another popular singer
Sertab Erener has brought the first-ever Eurovision Song Contest Award
to Turkey in 2003 and the song “Everyway That I Can” became a summer smash across Europe that year.
In addition to popular music, Classical Turkish Music and Turkish Folk
Music are popular among the young. Music traditions, inevitably, vary
in the different geographical regions. Ibrahim Tatlises is one of the most
important and popular singers of eastern Turkish Folk Music.

Almost all branches of sports and arts are played in Turkey.
The country has characteristics of four climates which allow
people to enjoy various sports. Universities offer all sorts of
sports and recreation facilities to their students. International
students may take part in sports activities on their own or can
join any one of the student group events. The favourite sport
is football and it is enjoyed throughout the country. One of the
most famous derbies in the world is that between two Turkish
clubs: Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. Hakan Şükür is one of the
most famous Turkish football players in the globe. Famous
Turkish players who now play in many European football clubs
include Fatih Tekke, Emre Belözoğlu, Nihat Kahveci, and
Yıldıray Baştürk. However, basketball is also quite popular and
a number of Turkish international basketball players play regularly in NBA League, for example, Hidayet Türkoğlu, Mehmet
Okur and Hüseyin Beşok.
Students may enrol in arts courses that are offered as part of
the academic programs of some universities and may get the
opportunity to learn about traditional arts and culturural events
through them such as Turkish music, architecture, and decorative arts like ebru etc.

Transportation
P
ublic transportation is widely available in
the cities and is relatively cheap. Buses or
minibuses (dolmuş) and underground (in
Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and Bursa) trains provide regular services. Inter-city transportation is also
easily accessible and students get discounts from
many bus companies. International students may use
term breaks or other official holidays to explore the
country, to visit internationally popular tourist and
cultural sites by making use of special fares. Travelling by coach is quite cheap and comfortable since
there are many competitive bus companies available
in almost all cities. Recent competitions between airlines companies have resulted in price reduction in
local flights. Hence, even air travel is worth considering when travelling across the country.
Bus and Dolmuş
Cost of
Living
Estimated living expenses for international students can be as low as
350 to 500 euro per month. Students should set aside about 100-150
euro for books each semester. However, cost of living will depend on the
city. Living cost in major big cities like Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir is inevitably higher than in the smaller cities.

Health
Students are advised to buy a health insurance package which will cover
health expenses that they may incur during their study in Turkey. All
higher education institutions have medical centres where they treat students for minor illness. Some universities even have medical faculties
and hospitals where students are treated free of charge. However,
whether an Erasmus incoming student can be treated in these hospitals free of charge has to be ascertained by consulting the rules of partner institutions.
Visa
International students from certain countries must obtain a valid student visa from the nearest Turkish Consulate in their country. They
should make sure that there is enough time for the Embassy/Consulate
staff to issue visas. The passport expiry date should be later than the
time that a person intends to stay in Turkey. A full list of Turkish Embassies or Consulates can be found at the end of this booklet. This visa
is required for registration at the university and must be obtained before
entering Turkey.
However if a student wishes to stay longer than the period stated above,
they need to apply for a student visa at the Turkish embassies or Consulates in the respected countries prior to departure.

MİMAR
SİNAN
UNIVERSITY
AREAS OF STUDY
Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University with a background dating to 1882 is one of the outstanding educational institutions of Turkey. Even though the
institution has changed its title as the Mimar Sinan
Fine Arts University in 2004, it is a rooted institution with a 125 years old history in art education.
Our university is located on the shores of Bosporus, in the centrum of Istanbul, a focal point of art
and culture, where two continents meet. Our Institution was founded in accordance with the modernization concepts that prevailed in the late Ottoman period and has undersigned many “firsts”
in arts and architecture in our country. The institution has been faithful to its mission after the foundation of the Turkish Republic and has carried
on its duty as a pioneer of modernization throughout the years of the young Republic to reach our
day. The sound and well-equipped academic staff
of our university is, as was, our major asset for leading us to our goals.
CITY
“There, God and man, nature and art have created
together an extraordinary place that is definitely
worth seeing” says the French poet Lamartine in
his attempt to define Istanbul. Istanbul as the only
city situated on two continents in world is known
as the “capitol of capitols”. It ruled continents first
as the capitol of the Roman Empire, then as the
capitol of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium)
creating immense geographies of peace. Istanbul
which became the capitol of the Ottoman Empire
in later years proudly carries the splendor of its past
while at the same time marches towards modernity
with firm steps in our day. The diversity she offers
has always fascinated the visitors of Istanbul. The
1990’s and into the 2000’s the significant traces of
change that were left on Istanbul can be summarized as the mark that global economics and global politics have stamped on the city. Istanbul is a
global site that has always been open to influences of different environments, has been enriched
by such influences and has been flexible enough to
export the accumulation that she has accumulated
and reproduced. The characteristics that provide Istanbul its status as a cultural World City rests in this
intense intra-cultural dialogue rooted in its past.

UNIVERSITY
Özyeğin University (OzU) is a non-profit, staterecognized higher education institution in Istanbul, Turkey. OzU welcomed its first students in
2008 at its Altunizade city campus, and will grow
into Turkey’s first green campus university with a
LEED certificate. Although OzU is young, our faculty is experienced at what we want to achieve: we produce creative, original, useful and applicable knowledge relevant not only within the
context of Turkey, but also on a regional and international scale. OzU is a research university with
a publication record of international claim, the
highest number of patents per faculty member
in Turkey and an unprecedented track record in
research grants. With its excellent facilities, high
academic standards and active learning method,
OzU aspires to educate the most sought-after graduates in Turkey and beyond. Last, but not least,
OzU is the choice in Turkey for students who are
interested in obtaining university level education
in entrepreneurship.
CITY
Istanbul “2010 European Capital of Culture” is
often characterized as the only city in the world
to embrace two continents, the bridge that connects East with West. While studying at Özyeğin
University, you can explore the city once known
as the capital of capital cities, having served as the
axis upon which the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires revolved. The city has been home to
more than 120 emperors and sultans over a span
of 1600 years, and there are still remnants of their former wealth and glory: palaces and villas,
churches and mosques, fountains and theaters,
private schools and bathhouses. Today, from the
depths of this historical Istanbul, a new, modern,
dynamic Istanbul has been born, gaining acclaim
and popularity among many, especially students.
Alongside ancient minarets and Roman city walls
have emerged shiny shopping malls and skyscrapers; integrated amongst the narrow streets and
cobbled walkways are bars and nightclubs ringing
out the latest music sensations.
ACCOMODATION
Özyeğin University has residence halls to house
students in the Çamlıca neighborhood of Istanbul, ten minutes away from our Altunizade campus. The residence halls offer a modern, comfortable living environment and feature facilities and
services to ensure an efficient study atmosphere.
International students are given priority in housing arrangements. A shuttle bus connects the residence halls to the campus and public transpor-
70
tation links provide an easy access to the central
parts of Istanbul.
LABORATORIES
Labs are the lifeblood of education at Özyeğin.
From freshman to graduation, students are exposed to real life situations in various state-of-theart labs and spaces. The library collection at OzU
includes a wide variety of resources in print and
electronic format, such as books, journals, databases, and multimedia resources. Most of the
electronic resources are available from off campus
locations 24/7. Every OzU student receives a portable computer and student account upon enrolment to the university and has full access to the
Internet via wireless access points throughout the
campus. The student account also provides access
to a range of online services such as student email
and Moodle, a virtual learning environment.
STUDENT LIFE
We at OzU believe that student clubs help form
the backbone of a lively, colorful university environment while serving to cultivate individuals
with multiple interests. Students at OzU are encouraged to start and participate in clubs with the
organizational and financial support of the university. Some examples of the existing clubs include: dance club, cinema club, outdoor sports club,
social responsibility club, photography club, theater club, debate society, technology and innovation club, and business and economy club. The Student Council, a student organization that represents the entire student body to the university administration, generates proposals and participates
in governance of student-related issues. As one of
its core values, social responsibility is integrated
into the very fabric of OzU’s educational program,
with the university seeking to increase awareness
of social problems and involving both faculty and
students in developing real, sustainable solutions.
The Bologna process has served as an essential
framework for the design of all OzU educational
programs. To facilitate the mobility of people,
transparency, and recognition of qualifications,
curriculum development is based on the QF-EHEA
and only the ECTS is used for credit allocation.
The student mobility ratio of the first graduating
class will be over 30%. Of the academic staff
25% are international and degree seeking foreign students are planned to represent 15% of the
student body.
The medium of instruction at Özyeğin University
is English. In addition, the Hotel Management
students are required to obtain a second foreign
language, such as Russian, Spanish, Arabic or Chinese. The students in other programs are encouraged to study foreign languages as an elective
option.

cave church from which the apsotle preached for
the first time and where he established the Christian community. In 1983, the church was declared
a holy site by Vatican. Other sightseeing places include a bustling bazaar and the Mosque of Habib-i
Neccar. The castle of Antioch, set high above the

CITY
The capital of the Turkish Republic, Ankara, was founded almost in the middle of Central Anatolia. Ankara gained prominence under the leadership of
Ataturk during the national resistance which followed World War I. During the War of Independence between 1919 and 1922, Ankara was chosen as
a military base and was declared the capital the new
Turkish Republic on October 13th 1923 by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and Turkish Grand National Assembly, due to its geographic, strategic and political importance as well as its role in the War of Independence. The foundations of the modern city
were then laid, by bringing in city planners from Europe. Occupying one of the most prominent parts
of the city is Anitkabir, the magnificent mausoleum
constructed to commemorate Ataturk. This structure, which was completed in 1953, is a synthesis of
antique and modern architectural themes, and proves the elegance and strength of Turkish architecture. Ankara has a vibrant cultural and artistic life with
many distinguished ballet, theatre, opera and folk
dance performances. The city’s Philharmonic Orchestra, which always plays to a packed house, is especially famous.

CITY
It is not definitely known when Kastamonu was
first founded. However, some sources dating
back to the Early Middle Ages refer to the province. There are also some archeological findings dating back to about 100,000[citation needed] years that suggest the region was inhabited then.
There are theories that the word Kastamonu derives from Castra Comnenus, the Latin name of the
Byzantine castle built by the Comnenus dynasty.
During the Ottoman reign, the province boundaries were expanded up to reach Istanbul. The
sultan’s heirs were often sent to rule the province as governors to gain experience. After the First
World War, during the battles of the Turkish War
of Independence, Kastamonu played an important role in the supply of ammunition and troops
to the İnebolu-Ankara front, transporting the war
machines that would arrive to İnebolu by sea from
Istanbul and the Soviets. When the Greeks noticed this activity, the İnebolu port was bombarded
from the sea on June 9, 1921.

UNIVERSITY
Founded in 1957, Atatürk University is one of the
city’s most significant resources. Since its establishment, it has served as a hub of educational and
cultural excellence for the region. As its very name
suggests, it was Mustafa Kemal Atatürk who first
openly declared in 1937 the necessity to establish a
university in Eastern Anatolia in the form of a regional university. Immediately after its establishment,
Atatürk University was twinned with the University
of Nebraska. Great strides have been made since
the establishment of the university with the initial
enrolment of 135 students to over 39.000 at present. Atatürk University has over 160 thousand
graduates as of 2009. In addition, the university
currently has approximately 13.000 students in distant learning. An institution of higher education for
over half a century, our university continues to serve
the region with 50 academic units. Our university
also provided the foundations of many universities
in Turkey.
CITY
Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, was hosted
in Erzurum at the beginning of the Turkish independence movement on 23 July 1919. It is the city in
which the foundations of the Turkish Republic were
first laid, thus making it one of the most significant
cities of the Eastern Anatolia.
Erzurum has for many centuries played a significant
role as a crossroad where many civilizations converged as one. You may see markings all around the
city from many ancient civilizations, such as Urartians, Persians, Romans, Arabs and Byzantines. The
city is characterized by many historical sites, which
provide a unique appearance to the surroundings.
One of these is the Double Minaret Medrese, dating
back to the 13th century. Erzurum is also a globallyknown center for winter sports. Palandöken Mountain, on the edge of the city, offers some of the best
winter recreational activities in all of Turkey, where
skiing is possible until mid April.
private dorms and student guesthouses around the
campuses.
LABORATORIES
The university boasts a well designed library in the
main campus with over 300.000 volumes with audio visual, and electronic publications, and 550 seats for readers. The library is one of the richest in
the country in terms of its entries, historical books
and collections. There are 345 laboratories established within academic units, provided for the use
of the students as well as for teaching and research. These laboratories are equipped with the latest technologies. Computer Sciences Application
and Research Center provides computer education,
related written and electronic material and consultancy services for the academics, students, and public. In addition to those in faculties, the center has 3
labs with a total of 260 computers.
STUDENT LIFE
One of the priorities of Atatürk University is to make
students active participants in social, cultural, and
artistic events, rather than mere spectators. Free courses open every year in order to give all students
the opportunity to improve their skills in Turkish
folk dances, Turkish folk music, western music, traditional musical instruments and theater. Moreover,
there are free cinema shows, concerts, cultural carnivals, music and folk dance shows, cinema days,
street carnivals, celebrations and commemorations,
exhibitions, panels and symposiums presented for
students. Traditionally, intramural sports competitions are held every spring during the “Spring
Festival” in many branches between the faculties
and schools. In addition to those located in the city,
there are on-campus canteens, cafes, resting halls,
a patisserie, restaurants, sports halls, tennis courts,
a bowling alley, a movie theatre, an art gallery, barbers and hairdressers which provide services for the
students
Right after its foundation, Ataturk University was
twinned with the University of Nebraska. Since
then, the University has been expanding its collaboration with many partner universities in the US, Europe and Asia. Since the awarding of EUC in 2006,
volume of Erasmus mobility has been growing every
year. The University organizes international winter
and summer schools each year and has been sending and receiving students from all over the world
through other bilateral cooperation agreements.
The language of instruction is Turkish, however,
there are courses designed for Erasmus students
and taught in English, French and German. Courses
in language and literature departments are also instructed in English, French, German or in other respective languages.
ACCOMODATION
Atatürk University offers a vast range of accommodation choices for students and teaching staff.
Apart from those who live in on-campus dormitories, some choose to live in private accommodation, which is only a short bus ride distance to the
campus. The dormitories have a total accommodation capacity of 9642 beds. Female and male dormitories are provided for students in the main campus, Oltu, Pasinler, İspir and Aşkale. There are also
