Koç University – Turcja

It is a small university located on the outskirts of Istanbul that prides itself on being an institution that provides young researchers with a great start to their careers. A survey conducted among its graduates shows that up to 95% of them have obtained doctoral degrees at top US and European universities. Moreover, at KU, the number of scientific publications per person is one of the highest among Turkish universities.

As many as ten universities, located in major European cities, belong to the European University of Post-Industrial Cities alliance. Each offers unique opportunities – both linguistic and academic – that can benefit all staff and students of the University of Lodz. What is good to know about them?

Koç University has six research centres: College of Engineering, College of Sciences, College of Social Sciences and Humanities, College of Administrative Sciences and Economics, Law School, School of Nursing and School of Medicine. Each of them works closely with both national and international stakeholders (such as the European Commission, universities, companies), running numerous complex projects.

One of KU's most popular initiatives is “Summer at Koç University” – a programme that allows students from partner universities to attend summer courses organised at the institution. These courses take place onsite and online and equip their participants, among other things, with knowledge in the areas of leadership, sustainability and social innovation.
