Özyeğin University has been established with the objective of serving society as an innovative, creative and entrepreneurial education center, which is integrated with modern life.
Our university will be active in implementing information produced by generating creative, original, useful and applicable knowledge which is not only meaningful within the environment of Turkey but also on a regional and worldwide scale.
Our graduates will be the most sought-after individuals in society: life-long learners who have vision, ethics, individual responsibility and principles. They will be results-oriented, with theoretical knowledge as well as practical experience and highly-developed work skills.
As contributing to the development of society will be the main objective of our university, we shall stimulate our students, professors, researchers, graduates and the institutions with which we cooperate to meet the demands of society.
Our leading values: Freedom, flexibility, multidimensionality and accessibility...
At Özyeğin University, because of the different academic environment we offer, as well as the innovative visions of our students and professors, we shall discover the creative potential of our students. We shall implement systems and processes that will bring new perspectives to all our approaches and activities, that will create new values and that will continuously feed the imagination, discovering, making syntheses, creating relationships, inventing and adaptation, all of which are necessary for adapting to the needs of the future in a complex and continuously changing world. We believe that with these characteristics, Özyeğin University will become a national and regional center of attraction. We aim at becoming an exemplary university that serves as a leader both in Turkey and in the region and that is recognized for its innovative education and creative research activities.
We shall provide extensive flexibility to our students, staff members and the institutions with which we have relationships. With characteristics such as flexible structures, dynamic programs and freedom in the choice of courses, we shall provide our students and researchers with the possibility to adapt to rapidly changing business life as well as education and research opportunities which can be customized in accordance with individual differences.
We shall be the advocate of academic freedom and institutional autonomy.
At Özyeğin University, we shall adopt a multidimensional approach which will offer different possibilities and characteristics, and develop an environment including different cultures and points of view. Our university will evolve in an environment of diversity providing different opportunities for intercultural exchange, and supporting creativity, learning and discovery. In this context, we attach great importance to international exchange programs for students and professors and international academic cooperation.
Our university will be financially accessible to students from various segments of society, with an efficient financial support model. Thanks to an efficient scholarship system, we will provide opportunities to brilliant and successful students with limited resources; in addition to this, within the framework of an innovative credit system, we are establishing systems to enable students to pay their education expenses after graduation.
Being well aware of the fact that for a higher education establishment of excellence, an excellent teaching staff, an excellent system and excellent opportunities must all be brought together, we will make the necessary investments in order to achieve this. We have gathered all these elements together in order to educate the most sought-after graduates, who four years later will be valuable as of the first day.
We invite you to become a part of this innovative structure aiming at integrating our educational activities with business life, and to progress together towards our objective of perfection with our strong academic staff.
