Halic University is an ambitious university that set out in 1998. Nestled on the shores of the “Golden Horn” the cradle of civilizations where the setting sun paints the waters in hues of gold, we bridge the heritage of the past with the geniuses of the future. Our ambition is to transform this ancient harbor, whose entrance was once barred by heavy chains, into a vast harbor of ideas open to the world.
Our university draws its strength from the historical, cultural and intellectual legacy of the Haliç Valley, fostering a powerful academic ecosystem that links today’s wisdom to tomorrow’s possibilities. Our university’s foundational tradition imposes on us a responsibility that surpasses the mere transmission of knowledge; it calls us to think, to create and to add meaningful and substantial value to society.
Just as the legendary Spoonmaker’s Diamond was discovered centuries ago amidst the dust of Haliç shores, Haliç University aims to uncover the unique gems, the hidden talents within every student, polish them, transform them and help them shine.
Our educational philosophy is one of modern-day alchemy. Our craft is to transform raw ore into gold, information into wisdom and wisdom into production and value. We are re-envisioning the same Golden Horn that once enchanted Pierre Loti, now through the lens of science and AI on our modern campus. This historic port, once shielded by massive iron chains, is now being opened to the globe as a cutting-edge modern gateway one that constantly updates its vision and makes a powerful statement.
I invite our students, academics, alumni and all our stakeholders to become a part of Haliç University’s dynamic, inclusive and future-oriented journey. We are fully confident that this noble quest will “bode well” and provide our students with a “bright future.”
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Enes ERYARSOY
