Kadir Has History

The official establishment of our university, which was initiated in 1992 by the Kadir Has Foundation (HASVAK), under the leadership of the late Kadir Has, was carried out with the law number 4263 dated 28.05.1997.

The construction of the Selimpaşa Campus started in 1998, and the restoration of the historical Tekel Cibali Cigarette Factory on the shore of the Golden Horn, which forms an important part of the Central Campus, started in 1999. Taking the Bahçelievler Campus into use in the 2000-2001 period, the University has expanded its activities to all of the Cibali, Selimpaşa and Bahçelievler campuses since the 2001-2002 academic year. At the end of 2007, a modern D Block was built to enlarge the Cibali Campus. The Sports Hall and associated facilities were built in 2008 in cooperation with Fatih Municipality. The name of the Cibali Campus was changed to Kadir Has Campus on March 28, 2007.

The founding rector of the university, Prof. Dr. Ergür Tütüncüoğlu was appointed as Prof. Dr. To Yücel Yılmaz; In February 2010, our third rector Prof. Dr. To Mustafa Aydın.
