The slogan “At the heart of Istanbul” is suitable for a university like Bahcesehir University (BAU)… With its main campus on the edge of the Bosphorus in Besiktas each day begins early with rapid mobility and continues throughout the day. Moreover, it is possible to encounter an event at almost every part of the university.
You have the opportunity to take a course in your department in Istanbul, Berlin or Washington DC. Also towards the end of each academic year you have the chance to apply for BAU’s summer abroad programs. Moreover, BAU’s summer abroad program is not only for our own students, but is open to students from all over the world!
Transportation to BAU is quite easy. We provide free shuttle service to our students and scholars with out own boats between our two campuses located in the heart of Istanbul, Besiktas North, Beşiktaş South, Göztepe ve Galata. Our boats depart from an area that we give the name BAUPORT. It is an area that is fully allocated for use by our students with greenery and an exquisite view of the Bosporus. Our boats depart at certain times of the day from our own pier and this allows for a pleasant journey between our campuses in Besiktas and Galata. Thus, students stay away from the busy Istanbul traffic and enjoy the ocean and its fresh air while transitioning from campus to campus. Our campus in Galata specializes in the Communication faculty’s work in new media. Tablet publishing in digital media, digital game based learning of the news from the studio to the desk and many other workshops are available in Galata.
