Ibn Haldun University

Ibn Haldun University, founded by TURGEV in Istanbul is an endowment university with the vision to stand out as a “research” university in social sciences. IHU was established in 2015 and will start accepting students in 11 departments in the fall of 2017. Education will be trilingual: Turkish, Arabic and English. Besides these three many western and eastern languages such as German, Spanish, Russian and French, as well as Chinese and Malay will be offered. We embrace all the heritage we inherit in this region for thousands of years. At IHU we would like to incorporate all our richness and diversity in science and education. We are determined to redefine the social science studies with genuine work of Islamic and Western scholars to be more inclusive and comprehensive of beliefs and cultures of the world. To achieve this end, we are committed to be an institution for all scholars from all over the world to integrate east and west, past and future. At IHU we will focus on individualized education. We will assign 1 scholar for every 10 students. IHU will be temporarily based in Başakşehir. The permanent Ibn Khaldun Complex will be in the Ottoman architecture design to be finished within three years.
