Bahçeşehir University

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.
