TOBB University of Economics and Technology is a private non-profit university in Ankara, Turkey.

## History

[edit]

It was established in 2003 by the Turkish Chambers and Commodity Exchanges Education and Culture Foundation (TOBEV), a branch of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey, the highest legal entity representing the private sector.[2] Student admissions began in 2004 with three faculties and ten departments, and the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design was added in 2007, admitting its first students the same year.[3]

The university emphasizes close collaboration between academia and industry, aiming to prepare students for careers in business and science. TOBB University places a strong focus on entrepreneurship, integrating cooperative education into its curriculum, where internships are part of the graduation requirements.[4]

TOBB University held its first graduation ceremony in 2008 and subsequently established the Faculty of Law in 2009.[3] In 2010, the university introduced a Student Guesthouse to provide accommodation for its students. By 2013, TOBB University expanded its offerings with the establishment of the School of Medicine and the Technology Center. The university also launched the "GARAGE" program, designed to support students in developing and applying their business ideas in real-world scenarios under expert supervision.[3]

In 2014, the Morphology Lab, originally part of the School of Medicine, began operating independently in its own facility.[3]
