About Sabancı University:
In 1994, Sabancı Group decided to establish a "world university" under the leadership of the Sabancı Foundation.
The foundations of Sabancı University, the most comprehensive social responsibility project of Sabancı Group in education, were laid in 1995 during a research conference attended by 50 academics from 22 countries, along with students and private sector representatives. This conference marked the beginning of an extensive process of analyzing leading educational institutions in Turkey and worldwide to understand their success factors.
Instead of replicating an existing university model, a completely new and unique institution was designed.
Since 1999, when students first began enrolling, Sabancı University has become an example for many other universities.
