The torch of the Turkish Education Association was lit by Atatürk, our great leader and the first President of the Turkish Republic and it has been blazing since 1928. After 84 years, TED University was established in 2012 by the Turkish Education Association (TED), to make difference on the Turkish Higher Education.
TED University adopts a liberal approach in education with the principle of prioritizing the human. Our priority is to assist our students in growing into individuals who are capable of coping with the difficulties and novelties of today’s rapidly transforming world, who take pleasure in learning and are open minded, ethical and profound. Our students graduate from TEDU equipped with a high level of professional know-how. The University consists of five faculties: Architecture, Arts and Sciences, Economics and Administrative Sciences; Education and Engineering.
For a university, research, discovery, the quest for reality and truth are as crucial as education itself. TED University is acutely aware of this responsibility, and together with all its stakeholders, commits to creating a liberal, peaceful and intellectual environment where students and faculty members can conduct productive and effective research. TED University provides its students the opportunity to discover about themselves and life in the first years of their education, and offers them the facilities to develop scientific and artistic experiences. TEDU cultivates global citizens who can comfortably and effectively express themselves both in Turkish and English.
TEDU Career Center is established in an aim to assist our students in familiarizing themselves with, and in being in contact with the business environments before graduation and easily adapting to the professional life upon graduation. Our goal is, to assist the students by providing them information and leadership in selecting a career and/or knowledge that would direct them to the correct career path. We will help them in making career plans and consciously selecting higher education opportunities that come along, by taking their personal talents, abilities and interests into consideration.
Starting from the time our university admitted its first students, a decision was made to form a TED University Student Council to allow students to directly share their wishes, complaints and views with the administrative organs of the university, and thus a founding council was formed with volunteer students. As a result of the meetings between the Registrar’s Office and our students, a draft Student Council Directive was prepared in accordance with the needs of our university.
Our University has two dorms, one of them is a mixed student residence with a capacity of 426 beds and the other one is residence for girls with a capacity of 93 beds. The students who are placed with Full Scholarship can benefit from the residence facilities, including breakfast and dinner free of charge. All our rooms are designed in a way that will meet the basic needs of the student. All our rooms include bathrooms, and the residence offers common areas for recreation, studying and social activities.
