Bahcesehir University (BAU) lives up to its motto “A World University
in the Heart of Istanbul”. With its main campus along the shores of
the Bosphorus in Besiktas, the hustle and bustle of each day begins
early and goes late; within the walls of the university, activity never
ceases.
The first thing that will catch your eye when you enter our
university is the number of international students. From the United
States to China, from France to South Korea, over a thousand
international students from far and wide study at BAU. When asked why
they prefer BAU, the answer is always the same: "The central location
and international status.” BAU’s location speaks for itself and a short
tour of our campus or brief perusal of our website will shed a light on
our international connections.
BAU GLOBAL provides students with opportunities to study abroad at
any of its affiliate institutions in Berlin, Toronto, Washington DC,
Batumi, Cyprus, Hanoi, Kyiv, Puebla, and Brockville. Our International
Office extends support to our students who choose to further their
education at any BAU Global campus. Whether you choose the excitement
and slendour of Istanbul, or to immerse yourself in American history and
culture in DC, or experience the wonders of Southeast Asia in exotic
Vietnam’s capital, Hanoi, at the end of the academic year, you also have
the opportunity to apply for BAU’s summer abroad programs open to all
students from all over the world.
Commuting to BAU is quite easy. We provide free and exclusive shuttle
service to our students and faculty members with our own boats between
Beşiktaş campuses, North and South, and Galata. Our boats depart from
our own pier (BAUPORT) in Beşiktaş at set times to Galata. This allows
for a pleasant journey between the campuses, away from Istanbul’s
traffic, on the exquisite Bosphorus with the fresh sea air and the
occasional dolphin sighting. The Galata campus is home to the
Communications Faculty and their work in new media; from digital media
and games to the newsdesk where the fundamentals of journalism are
learned, various workshops are available at this campus.
In addition to current students, BAU organizes programs for
alumni and graduate school candidates. Our Alumni Office organizes
training sessions and holds events throughout the year and our BAU
family grows each year, maintaining strong bonds even after graduation.
We invite you to become a part of the BAU family…
