The Sabancı Group decided to establish a “world university” led by the Sabancı Foundation in 1994. Instead of choosing a university as a template or replicating existing examples and institutions, a new and unique university was designed during the foundation phase of the university. Having begun accepting students in 1999, Sabancı University sets an example to many a university today.
Sabancı University makes a difference with its unique education system.
Academic programs of Sabancı University are innovative and interdisciplinary. As the conventional system of “departments” is seen to be hindering true interdisciplinary approach at times and causing too early and restricted specialization in any given field, Sabancı University does not have academic divisions.
The education system of the university is based upon the common Foundations Development Year, which all students must complete regardless of their subsequent program choices or plans. Students who complete the Foundations Development Year successfully become individuals capable of critical thought, interdisciplinary interaction and problem-solving, who are endowed with the knowledge base required to complete the program they will choose. In the second phase of Foundations Development, students are free to choose the introductory courses to their preferred diploma program, and choose one of 12 programs to continue their education.
Faculties
There are three faculties at Sabancı University: the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences (FENS), the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) and the Sabancı School of Management (SOM). All faculties offer undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate programs.
The FENS offers undergraduate programs in Computer Science and Engineering, Biological Sciences and Bioengineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Electronics Engineering and Manufacturing Systems Engineering, and graduate programs in Information Technologies, Biological Sciences and Bioengineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Physics and, Mathematics.
The undergraduate programs of the FASS are Economics, Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design, Cultural Studies, International Studies and Social and Political Sciences, in addition to the graduate programs in Economics, Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design, Public Policy Analysis, Political Science, Conflict analysis and Resolution, Cultural Studies, History, Turkish studies, and European Studies.
The Sabancı School of Management offers undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate degrees in Management. (BA in Management, Sabancı MBA, Sabancı Executive MBA, Sabancı Masters in Finance and PhD.) Starting with the 2011-2012 academic year Sabancı School of Management launched its MBA-MIT Sloan MSMS dual degree program. Sabancı School of Management and MIT-Zaragoza Logistics Center offer a dual degree option whereby candidates can earn a Sabancı MBA degree and a Zaragoza Master of Engineering degree (ZLOG) in Logistics and Supply Chain Management in 2 years.
The Executive Development Unit (EDU) offers executive development programs for professionals.
Graduates
4851 graduates of Sabancı University are pursuing successful careers in academia or the business world.
25% of Sabancı University graduates continue their postgraduate studies with scholarships at the leading universities of the world, including Carnegie Mellon University, University of California, Politecnico di Milano, Boston University, Harvard University, Brown University, Stanford University and, University of Massachusetts. The rate of finding jobs within one year of graduation is 86%.

Ahmet Ünal
Yıldız Technical University has a distinguished history that dates to 1911. YTU was founded as Kondüktör Mekteb-i Âlisi (Conductors School of Higher Education) in order to meet the “science officer” (known previously as conductors, and today as technicians) needs of the Municipality Public Works Section. The school was modeled on the syllabus of the “Ecole de Conducteur” and was affiliated with the Ministry of Public Works. The school’s name was changed to Nafia Fen Mektebi (School of Public Works) in 1922. The duration of education was increased to two and a half years in 1926 and three years in 1931.
Following the increase in public facilities and the requirement for technical services, a ruling ordered the closure of Nafia Fen Mektebi and the establishment of a Technical School to supply the workforce for the gap between technical officers and professional engineers. The school provided a two-year program for technical officers and a four-year program for engineers. Buildings were granted from the Yıldız Palace annexes, which are still in use today.
In the early period, the school consisted of civil and mechanical departments, educating students as technical officers and engineers. Starting with the 1942-1943 semester, electrical and architecture departments were added as part of the Department of Engineering. The school was established as an autonomous higher education and research institution in 1969. With a law which ruled for the closing of special vocational schools in 1971, engineering schools were affiliated with the Istanbul State Engineering and Architectural Academy.
