Istanbul University is considered as the oldest university in Turkey, as its foundation is traced back to 1453. Naturally Istanbul University has the lead with the number of programmes they carry, with more than 10 campuses spread all over Istanbul. Its history provides an experience no other school can provide, as taking its warped marble steps reminds you of all the famous scientists, writers and politicians that once took the same steps as students. Our academics are highly qualified for their positions with many of them carrying a passion for teaching. After every class I find myself appreciating literature and wanting to learn more.
