On Boğaziçi University

Boğaziçi University's high standards in education and research are acknowledged throughout the world. Its excellent and well-deserved academic reputation attracts the best students in the country. It is endorsed by the European Universities Association (EUA). The flexibility of its academic programs, the wide range of courses offered, and the emphasis on interdisciplinary curricula are significant advantages that characterize and distinguish the institution.

Robert College, the first American College outside of the United States, was founded in 1863. The College was, from the start, a liberal arts educational institution with special emphasis on the teaching of languages and of natural sciences.

Nearly a century later, in 1971, Boğaziçi University was established as a successor of Robert College by the Turkish Government. The university has since expanded both physically and academically. Boğaziçi University is currently home to about 12 000 students, who have been selected through a highly competitive national entrance exam, as well as to about 500 academic staff who excel in teaching as well as research.
