About the city

The university is located in the Asian section of Istanbul, in the Çekmeköy area. The population of Istanbul is 18 million, with over 6 million foreigners living in the city. The climate of the city is cold in winter and moderate in summer. It consists of two sections, European and Asian, separated by the Bosphorus Strait, connected by three bridges and an underwater tunnel.

The Asian section of Istanbul is considered the modern face of the city, with modern buildings and wide streets dominating, unlike the European section. This part is relatively quiet and less crowded compared to the other, with abundant green spaces and serving as a hub for many international companies.

The Asian section of Istanbul boasts numerous tourist attractions, including Kadıköy, similar to Taksim Square, and landmarks such as the Maiden’s Tower, the district of Üsküdar, and the Bosphorus waterfront, known for its abundance of cafes, squares, and parks like Beşiktaş Park and Mihrabat Park. Palaces along the Bosphorus date back to the Ottoman era, such as Beylerbeyi Palace, Küçüksu Palace, and Çubuklu Palace. It also houses many historical buildings like Haydarpaşa Railway Station and Selimiye Barracks. The Asian section is also home to numerous Ottoman mosques, including Çamlıca Mosque, one of Turkey’s largest mosques, situated on Çamlıca Hill overlooking the Bosphorus, known as “Brides’ Hill” among the Arab community. One of the most famous streets in the Asian section of Istanbul is Baghdad Street, renowned for its sophistication
