Fatih university


Fatih University (Turkish: Fatih Üniversitesi) was a private (foundation) university located in the metropolitan Büyükçekmece district of Istanbul, Turkey. Founded in 1996, it was closed by the government in the course of the 2016 Turkish purges.

Contents

Fatih University had a relatively high rate of international students (from 102 countries). Tuition fee for international students was the same as the native students. The number of students getting education at the university was around 15 thousand. English was the medium of instruction in most departments, and students were encouraged to learn an additional foreign language. There were also separate/parallel departments that teach students in Turkish, native language.

The university had two clinics and a hospital, a bionano technology lab and a biopetrol research and development center intensively working (besides regular research labs in departments). The university was established in 1996 by the Turkish Association of Health and Medical Treatment. The ninth President Süleyman Demirel was present at the formal inauguration of the University in November 1996.

The rector of Fatih University was Prof. Dr. Muhit Mert. Mustafa Özcan is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Fatih University.

On 23 July 2016, the university was closed by the Turkish government in the course of the 2016 Turkish purges.
