The university operates a portfolio of digital products including the UKEY authentication system, UNISIS student automation, SOSIS hospital information system, native iOS and Android mobile applications, the Bilgi Paketi academic information portal, and the Sosyal Transkript student records platform. Beyond education, it runs clinical services (organ transplantation, radiation oncology, PET-BT imaging, cardiovascular surgery), veterinary and agricultural research farms, and a Turkish-language teaching center for international students (ULUTOMER).

Revenue is generated through five primary streams: government appropriations via YÖK, tuition and student fees, healthcare services through the university hospital, research grants from TÜBİTAK, EU, and BAP, and ancillary campus services (HGS parking via BUTAD, summer schools, language courses). Distribution occurs through the national YKS/ÖSYS admissions system for domestic students, the ULUYÖS channel for international students, Erasmus/Mevlana/Farabi exchange programs, and direct hospital outpatient services. Strategic partners include YÖK, TÜBİTAK, ULUTEK Teknopark, BALKANTÜRKSİAD (signed 2026-06-25), BUTAL, and the university's own TTO.
