Details: Bilkent University was founded on October 20, 1984 by Ihsan Dogramaci
with the aim of establishing a center of excellence in higher education and research.
Consistent with this aim, the university has attracted highest ranking students in the
country, and very productive faculty.
The faculty is comprised of an academic staff from 43 different countries. Most of them
were working in prominent universities in North America and Europe when they received
offers from Bilkent University. According to ISI Citation Indexes, Bilkent continues to be
first in Turkey in number of published papers per faculty member and ranks high
internationally.
The medium of instruction in the University is English, i.e., all verbal and written
classwork, assignments, and practical work is carried out in English. (The only exceptions
to this are the language courses, and the courses on Turkish Law in the Faculty of Law.)
Bilkent University has an excellent educational infrastructure, including a modern library
and extensive computer facilities with a private satellite Internet connection to the
United States.
