Kutahya Health Sciences University

What Kutahya Health Sciences University does

Kütahya Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi (KSBÜ) is a public state university located in Kütahya, Turkey, established in 2018 to deliver health sciences higher education and research. The institution operates four faculties (Medicine, Health Sciences, Engineering and Natural Sciences, and Dentistry), a Graduate Education Institute (Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü), four vocational schools across Kütahya province (Gediz, Simav, Tavşanlı, and central Kütahya), and 14 application and research centers. KSBÜ enrolls approximately 6,737 students supported by 744 academic personnel and 505 administrative staff. Student recruitment runs exclusively through Turkey's centralized national YKS/ÖSYM admissions system regulated by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK), with international students admitted via Erasmus+, Mevlana, and degree-seeking programs.

The university maintains a broad digital ecosystem supporting academic and administrative operations, including a Student Information System (OBS), Distance Learning System (ÖYS), Electronic Document Management System (EBYS/enVision), Academic Information System (AVESİS), event and community management portals, an appointment scheduling system for dietetics, psychology, and physiotherapy services, and a proprietary Digital Health Platform (Dijital Sağlık Platformu) for telemedicine. Clinical training and healthcare delivery are conducted through the Evliya Çelebi Training and Research Hospital and the Gülsüm Güral Ağız ve Diş Sağlığı Merkezi. Research and commercialization activities are anchored by KUTTOMER, the university's Technology Transfer Office, and a new TÜSEB Technology Transfer Office opened at Kütahya Şehir Hastanesi in May 2026.

KSBÜ's business model is that of a Turkish state university: core operating revenue derives from central government budget allocations administered by YÖK and the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, supplemented by revolving-fund (Döner Sermaye) income from affiliated hospital clinical services. Domestic tuition is effectively zero under national policy; international student fees are set per program but are not commercially significant. KSBÜ does not operate a commercial sales motion; customer segments are limited to (1) domestic and international students admitted centrally, (2) healthcare patients served through affiliated hospitals and the digital health platform, and (3) the Turkish government as the principal funder. The institution holds YÖKAK institutional accreditation, ISO 9001:2015 certification, and various recognitions including Orange Flag, Accessible University, and Sports Friendly Campus awards.
