Welcome to Ipek University!
Choosing where to study and deciding on your career path are perhaps the most difficult choices that a person has to make in life.
Your decision today will change not only your life, but also the lives of future generations. Therefore, before you make this important choice, I would like you to consider Ipek University, the project of the century, as an option which will play a key role in the achievement of your future goals.
The University is devoted primarily to the social sciences, which play an important role in human and social life, and is committed to becoming a university renowned for its excellence, creativity and innovation in fields including Economics, Management, International Relations, Political Science, International Business, Law, Film-Making, Television, Media, Performing Arts, Music, Animation, Journalism, History, Literature, Psychology, and Philosophy.
As we believe that quality of life and the study environment both play a considerable part in the degree of success achieved, we have designed a stunning campus, using a wide range of architectural styles inspired by a variety of lifestyles in different cities across the globe; the campus can be described as “a city within a city”.
Along with its educational programs, the university offers its students a business environment with a high-quality infrastructure and facilities that will enable them to turn theoretical knowledge into practical skills. The vision of Ipek University is to nurture and educate a vibrant generation of scholars who will enlighten not only today’s world but also future generations with their achievements.
Ipek University is committed to academic excellence, fostered through its outstanding academic staff and facilities, and I firmly believe that information produced by research, education and training, and the activities of the research centers, will contribute to the global advancement of knowledge.
The founding members of the Foundation and the Board of Trustees consider ensuring this goal as their primary mission.
I would like to conclude my welcome message with Sheikh Edebali’s advice to the young Osman Bey, founder of the Ottoman Empire, as he started out on his path:
“The world is not as big as it seems. All the unconquered mysteries, the unknown and the unseen can be brought to light only through your merits and virtues.”
I would like to wish you every success in this new phase of your life.
