Dear Students,

 

Our age is now, in the strict sense, an education age. Aside from the education given by the family, we are entrusting our children to specialist trainers from the very young age. Kindergarten, primary and secondary school, high school and at the end of all this the beautiful destination – a successful university with international values!
 

The most beautiful and productive years young people will spend their lives perhaps are the years of university… As Istanbul Gelisim University, we deliver our young people through all the doors we open to the very center of qualified education, removing all obstacles in front of accessing information. We also know that education is not just about classrooms, conference rooms, or laboratories. With the social environment of our university, we are cultivating a culture of living together with our students. We show them everything they can learn about the department they are studying, and introduce the world and humanity to them, also aim to educate our students as entrepreneurial, researching, questionning, solution-oriented  leaders of social development with high ethical values. We prove that we are on the right track at the point of realizing this goal taking place between Turkey's most preferred foundation universities.
