Hasan Kalyoncu University

Hasan Kalyoncu University was established in Gaziantep—an important junction of the historic Silk Road, where different religions, languages, races, cultures, and civilizations have converged—with the aim of becoming a university focused on education, research, and innovation.

The University commenced its first academic year with three departments each within the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture and the Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences. In the 2011–2012 academic year, while new departments were added to these two faculties, student admissions also began in the newly established Faculty of Law and the School of Health Sciences.

Hasan Kalyoncu University aims to be an institution that provides education grounded in freedom, justice, and ethical values, with a strong focus on research and innovation. It seeks to educate graduates who regard diversity as a source of enrichment; who are inquisitive and analytical; who are committed to the rule of law and democratic values; and who possess the knowledge and skills required to compete in global markets. The University mobilizes all its resources to ensure that the scientific knowledge produced within the institution is shared with society, discussed openly, and transformed into solution-oriented approaches to social challenges.
