## History

[edit]

Tobb University is a private non-profit cooperative education university established in 2003 by The Turkish Chambers and Commodity Exchanges Education and Culture Foundation, commonly known as “TOBEV” which is a unit that branches from The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey, which is the highest legal entity representing the private sector.[2] However, admission for students did not occur until 2004 with three faculties and ten departments. With the later establishment of the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design in 2007 with its first set of students.[3] Tobb University was founded on the premise of university and industry having strong ties, with a goal to prepare students for the business and science worlds. Tobb University has a strong focus on entrepreneurial opportunities, with a curriculum that offers cooperative education, which includes internships that count toward graduation.[4]

Tobb University's first graduation ceremony took place in 2008, and then established the Faculty of Law in 2009.[3]

In 2010, Tobb University opened a Student Guesthouse as an accommodation. In 2013, Tobb University established two more departments, which were the School of Medicine and the Technology Center. The inclusion of a new program known as “GARAGE”, which provides services to encourage students to bring forth their business ideas in practical applications in the real world under supervision.[3]

Later in 2014, the Morphology Lab branched off from the School of Medicine and started operations at its own building.[3]
