What Is An Ideal University?
That Is The Question We Explored
In This Year’s Annual Report…
Fostering a Rendezvous Between Generations
The ideal university is an academic institution that creates and maintains the freest environment in which meticulously recruited faculty and students can roam freely to do whatever they choose within reason of the legalities and bureaucracies involved.
The Journey of Selfdiscovery
Universities prioritizing a culture of ongoing learning in every interaction are optimally positioned to nurture an environment that values free expression, diversity, and selfdiscovery.
Pioneering New Research Areas
A top priority of an ideal university is initiating new research areas and paving the way for cutting-edge research. Koç University has always worked toward becoming an ideal academic institution that unlocks and explores such areas.
Building a Sustainable Research Ecosystem
Driving the momentum achieved in research forward with 30 years of experience as a leading institution of higher education, Koç University continues to introduce key initiatives to ensure the continuity and applicability of the research conducted by its world-class faculty and researchers.
Encouraging The Research of Tomorrow
In 2022, Koç University Rahmi M. Koç Medal of Science was awarded for the seventh time in the fields of science, engineering, and medical sciences.
Part Orchestra, Part Conservatory
The KU Orchestra is like a school in its own right, standing alongside academic education and instilling a sense of belonging with the university.
