Prof. Dr. Ali Cengiz KÖSEOĞLU
Rector

Dear Students,

A quality university education is your right. Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University is an institution that understands the mission of our country, which has risen to a leading position in the region and the world in terms of economic, social, cultural, historical, and political significance. AYBU, which aims to open new horizons for our country, will not only contribute to our own nation but also carry the young minds of the countries in our region, with whom we share historical, social, and cultural ties, into the global scientific arena.

Our university aims to become a preferred choice for students from every country in the world. To this end, the medium of instruction at AYBU is predominantly English, the global language of communication and science. With a goal to admit 25% of its students from abroad, AYBU stands out by shaping itself as a “Research University” where nearly 50% of its student body consists of graduate and doctoral students.

The responsibility of universities is not limited to equipping students with professional skills. Universities are institutions that nurture intellectuals capable of guiding society in scientific, technological, cultural, and social matters. Moreover, another key responsibility of universities is institutional leadership. In this sense, Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University takes on the responsibility of providing guidance not only to society but also to both public and private institutions, collaborating with them and leading when necessary.

By fostering interdisciplinary cooperation, our university strives to ensure that the projects carried out in this collaboration turn into societal, cultural, technological, and commercial products. Like the successful educational institutions around the world, AYBU has adopted a working system in which all teaching staff dedicate much of their time to projects worked on with students. During these projects, our valued students will have the opportunity to integrate the theoretical knowledge gained at our university with real-life examples.

The entire academic and administrative staff at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University is committed to providing you with a peaceful, happy, and comfortable environment for your education. Our faculty members, who have completed their doctoral studies at prestigious universities worldwide and in Turkey, aim to train you as qualified individuals who are well-prepared for the demands of the 21st century and the professional world.

Students from the Faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences, Theology, Business, Architecture and Fine Arts, Health Sciences, and Political Science will study at the Esenboğa Campus. Located in the historical area of the 1402 Ankara Battle, our Esenboğa Campus is just a 30-minute drive from Ankara city center, and it takes about 15-20 minutes to reach the Esenboğa Airport.

The Rectorate of our university operates at both the Esenboğa Campus and the Etlik Milli İrade Building.

Dear Young People,

For high standards in education and a bright future, we invite you all to join us at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University. I wish you all a successful, healthy, and happy academic year ahead.
