Istanbul Technical University (Turkish İstanbul Teknik
Üniversitesi, commonly referred to as ITU or Technical Istanbul Technical
University) is an international technical university located in University
Istanbul, Turkey. It is the world's third-oldest [11] technical İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi
university dedicated to engineering sciences as well as social
sciences recently, and is one of the most prominent educational
institutions in Turkey. ITU is ranked 173rd worldwide (1st
nationwide) in the field of "Engineering & Technology", and
307th worldwide (1st nationwide) in the field of "Natural
Sciences" by the QS World University Rankings in 2016.[12][13]
Acceptance to the university is competitive, and entrance to most

of its departments requires scoring among the top 1% of the
nearly 2 million applicants in the national university entrance
examination known as "YKS".[14][15] Graduates of ITU have
received many TUBITAK science and TUBA awards. Numerous
graduates have also become members of the academy of sciences Motto Contemporary
in the U.S.A, Britain and Russia. The university's basketball for centuries
team, ITUSpor, is in the Turkish Basketball Super League. Type State technical
university
The university has 39 undergraduate, 144 graduate programs, 13
faculties, 346 labs and 12 research centers. Its student-to-faculty Established 1773[1]

Ottoman Empire
Considered as the world's third institution of higher learning

specifically dedicated to engineering education, Istanbul
Technical University (ITU) has a long and distinguished history
which began in 1773. ITU was founded by Sultan Mustafa III as
the Imperial School of Naval Engineering (Ottoman Turkish: Mühendishane-i Bahr-i Hümayun), and
it was originally dedicated to the training of ship builders and cartographers. In 1795 the scope of the
school was broadened to train technical military staff for the modernization of the Ottoman army. In
1845 the engineering function of the school was further widened with the addition of a program
devoted to the training of architects. The scope and name of the school were extended and changed
again in 1883 and in 1909 the school became a public engineering school which was aimed at training
civil engineers who could provide the infrastructure for the rapidly developing country.
Modern Turkey
By 1928 the institution had gained formal recognition as a university of engineering which provided
education in both engineering and architecture. In 1944 the name of the institution was changed to
Istanbul Technical University and in 1946 the institution became an autonomous university with
architecture, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering faculties.
With its long history of 243 years, its modern teaching environment, and well-qualified teaching staff,
Istanbul Technical University today is the personification of engineering and architectural education
in Turkey. Istanbul Technical University not only played a leading role in the modernization
movement of the Ottoman Empire, but has also maintained its leadership position in the changes and
innovations taking place in the construction, industrialization, and technological realms during the
modern days of the Turkish Republic. Engineers and architects trained at Istanbul Technical
University have played significant roles in the construction of Turkey. Alumni also played a
significant role in Turkish politics.
Academics
The structure of each "faculty" at ITU is comparable to those of "colleges" in the U.S. institutions,
where each faculty is composed of two or more departments. For example, the Faculty of Electrical
and Electronics Engineering consists of the departments of electrical engineering, control
engineering, electronics and communication engineering

International perspective and rankings

25 engineering departments of ITU are accredited by University rankings
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). [27]
Global – Overall
Also ITU's Faculty of Architecture is accredited by NAAB[28] and [26]
the Faculty of Maritime is accredited by IMO. Minimum score of ARWU World 801-900
79 from TOEFL IBT, or success in the English proficiency exam is (2019)
one of the prerequisites to register the Bachelor, Master, or

Doctorate level courses at ITU. Instruction is both in English and Turkish (roughly 30% and 70%,
respectively or 100% for some disciplines). Master and Doctorate courses are mostly held in English.
ITU is highly reputable institution in the area of engineering sciences within the Europe. Therefore,
the university provides a broad range of options, that involve highly reputable institutions, to its
students for the Erasmus Mobility.
