5 Studying in Istanbul Istanbul has a wonderful location spanning the European and Asian continents across the Bosphorus straits. Throughout history, this unique location made Istanbul politically, commercially and culturally a very important city. Once the capital of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, Istanbul has grand historic monuments, a commercial culture that is still very much alive and a cosmopolitan culture that welcomes all. Today it is not the capital of the modern Turkish Republic but it is the most populous city of Turkey with 17 million inhabitants. Istanbul is still the heart of Turkey s commercial, financial, artistic and cultural activities. It is a touristic destination which attracts around 12 million tourists a year, with its historic palaces and mosques, wonderful museums, art galleries, festivals, and worldclass shopping and entertainment. Istanbul is also an education hub. 58 universities are currently operating in Istanbul hosting around 600 thousand students. Living and studying in Istanbul is a great experience with so many places to see and so many things to do. Both Turkish and international students agree that studying in Istanbul is an opportunity not to be missed.

6 Istanbul Aydin University (IAU) Istanbul Aydın University (IAU) is a non-profit and staterecognized Foundation university. It was established in 2003 offering vocational programs of higher education. It became a university in 2007, delivering bachelor s and graduate programs.

7 From the President Istanbul Aydin University equips its students with the 21st century skills, and the innovative and the creative spirit of our age with the help of our qualified teaching staff, up-to-date curricula, foreign language teaching, high-tech facilities and the active social life on campus. I believe that modern Turkey will be able to rise as a leader in science, technology and world affairs with the efforts and contributions of the young generation. I sincerely hope that our students will discover and plan the career that they dream and build a happy future for themselves. In order to realize these hopes and beliefs, we pursue our continuous work at Istanbul Aydin University with the mission of becoming a model university and assuming an important role in Turkey s education sector. Dr. Mustafa Aydın President, Board of Trustees

8 From the Rector Education and learning are the main impetus for a society s development. Universities are valuable institutions with ties to various segments of society, focused on solving the problems of society, developing and spreading technology, while embodying the principles of academic freedom. Although the number of universities in Turkey has increased recently, there are still over a million young people every year who are unable to access higher education due to insufficient number of seats at universities. With this concern in mind, Istanbul Aydin University has worked relentlessly since its establishment in 2003 to reach its goals and has created the roadmap with its academicians, administrators and directors to be a leading, socially responsible and globally engaged university. Prof. Yadigâr İzmirli Rector
