Having continued to improve and grow since the day it was founded, our university is a dynamic institution of higher education that is one of the largest foundation universities in Turkey. With its scientific research, articles that are published internationally, alumni and successes, Yeditepe University took its place among the pioneering institutions of higher education and it will continue to represent our country internationally by raising its position even further in years to come.

The ISTEK family, which has been born out of self-sacrifice and a commitment to love and respect for humanity, owes its existence to the vision of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey. As his ardent followers, Atatürk's daughters and sons possess the qualities that he set for and expects from the Turkish nation. The educational revolution is one of the most significant revolutions that best reflect Atatürk's productivity and timeless personality. Education is a serious business; it is also a sacred endeavor. As the Great Leader Atatürk has put it, educators must be dedicated to raising generations with no impediments to their minds, consciences and wisdom. This was our aim in setting up the ISTEK Foundation and Yeditepe University.
