[edit] About AIBU
Abant Izzet Baysal University was founded on July 3, 1992 with the aim of establishing a centre of excellence in higher education and research. Today it has 8 faculties, 3 institutes, 5 two-year programmes, 6 vocational schools, and 4 research centres. Nine hundred academicians are proud to educate 18,200 students in this modern environment. Academic Units of Abant Izzet Baysal University are spread out to a large area, which includes the districts of Bolu province, like Gerede, Mengen, Mudurnu and the neighbouring province Düzce and its district Akçakoca. The main Izzet Baysal Campus of the University is the central one and is only 8 kms to the city centre.
The University accepts, without reservation, that creating an academic ground for social, cultural, scientific, economic, and technological development in an international context is essential for its mission. For this reason, Abant Izzet Baysal University aims to be a dynamic institution, focused at excellence, that will bring the development of our society and mankind to the highest universal standards. So far, the University has covered a long distance and become “the most rapidly progressing University in Turkey ”. Excellent educational infrastructure, including a modern library and extensive computer facilities with internet connection, creates a unique research environment.
Abant Izzet Baysal University is a unique university model in Turkey not for being a purely state university nor a foundation university but instead “a foundation supported state university”. This status enables the university to receive funds both from the government and the Izzet Baysal Foundation. The university with its perfect physical structure and high-technology equipment, obtained in a short period of time with the investments of Izzet Baysal Foundation as well as opportunities provided by the State, offers a modern and developed environment for its students. Izzet Baysal Foundation provides the successful students scholarship opportunities.
