Antalya Bilim University

What Antalya Bilim University does

Antalya Bilim University is a private foundation university (vakıf üniversitesi) operating in Antalya, Turkey, under the regulatory oversight of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK). It delivers higher education across seven faculties — Dentistry, Engineering and Natural Sciences, Economics/Administrative/Social Sciences, Fine Arts and Architecture, Tourism, Health Sciences, and Law — alongside an Institute of Graduate Studies, vocational schools, and a School of Foreign Languages. The institution primarily serves domestic Turkish undergraduate students, with secondary segments in graduate students, international students (via Erasmus+ and English-medium programs), and working professionals through its Continuing Education Center (ABÜSEM/SEM).

The university operates a digital ecosystem comprising a Student Information System (OBS), Learning Management System (LMS), E-Payment portal, and a Health Ethics Committee application system. Administrative units include a Technology Transfer Office (TTO) for research commercialization, a Career Development Center, a Cooperative Education program (ABU ICE), and an Erasmus coordination office. The Continuing Education Center has served 18,841 participants across 42,994 course hours with 172 instructors and reports a 95% satisfaction rate.

Revenue is generated predominantly through tuition and fees across undergraduate and graduate programs (not publicly disclosed), supplemented by professional development course fees (4,000–7,000 TL per program at SEM) and research grant funding. The university pursues revenue diversification through industry partnerships (notably Rixos Hotels for hospitality), international cooperation agreements, and the commercialization of academic IP, exemplified by its national patent registration for a 3D Earthquake Performance System. Branding and recognition efforts include a 2025 UI GreenMetric World University Ranking placement and Cambridge English Educational Partner status.
