Yildiz Technical University (YTU), founded in 1911, is one of Turkey’s most prestigious and oldest technical universities. Initially established as the Kondüktör Mekteb-i Âlisi (School of Conductors) to meet the need for technical personnel in public works, it later evolved into the Yildiz Technical School of Engineering. In 1937, it was reorganized as the Istanbul Technical School, and in 1982, it gained university status under its current name.
YTU has a long-standing tradition of excellence in engineering and technical education and has expanded its academic portfolio to include science, arts, and social sciences. Today, the university has 11 faculties, 3 graduate institutes, and several vocational schools, offering a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs.
Yildiz Technical University is committed to being a leading research institution both nationally and internationally. The university aims to foster innovation and excellence in scientific research and technological development. It emphasizes:
