"After bread, education is a nation's greatest need."
(Paul Richer)
When laying the foundation of Antalya Bilim University, we embarked on a journey with the aim of establishing an institution that would soon gain recognition in Turkey and the surrounding regions (Central Asia, Russia, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Balkans) and by 2030, stand among the most successful universities globally.
We believe that Antalya, a city rich in cultural heritage and natural beauty and home to many civilizations throughout history as the capital of tourism, needs a university that can offer educational and technological opportunities at an international level. As Antalya's first foundation university, Antalya Bilim University aims to serve as a bridge between Eastern and Western cultures, to elevate and sustain the quality of education, especially in science, technology, and engineering, to train skilled professionals, and to shape the economic and social agenda of the region.
We have built our higher education infrastructure with the knowledge and expertise necessary for a modern learning experience by studying the world’s leading universities, engaging in discussions, and establishing cooperation agreements. Our university, which aims to become a renowned educational brand and reference center in tourism, will continue to be an institution of choice not only for Turkish youth but also for international students, whom we regard as a source of cultural enrichment.
Among our goals is to establish research centers and institutes within our university that host international conferences and to support high-quality research by developing forward-looking statistical models and analyses. Our greatest strength in achieving these objectives is our faculty composed of distinguished academics who have earned doctorates abroad and contributed to scientific research.
We are fully confident in our ability to cultivate individuals who are capable of closely following global innovations, developments, and trends; who are inquisitive and research-oriented, productive and creative; who will represent our country on international platforms; and who are sensitive to ethical values and social responsibilities.
