History

[edit]

Beykent University is a foundation university having the public legal entity status which was founded by Adem Çelik - Beykent Educational Foundation on 09.07.1997 under the Law No. 4282.

Believing that education is the only solution for the unsolved problems of the increasingly growing and developing modern Turkey, our founder Adem Çelik has taken initiatives in the field of education with the ideal of “serving the community”, and created a chain of education from kindergarten to primary and high school followed by Beykent University.

The university, which began its educational journey on Büyükçekmece Campus in the Academic Year 1997 – 1998, offers education on four highly equipped campuses located in central districts of İstanbul.
