Kadir Has University

Additionally, Kadir Has University supports its students with financial aid and consultancy services through entities such as the Creative Industries Platform.

Following a period of disrepair and eventual abandonment, the Kadir Has Foundation decided in the late 1990s to transform the dilapidated factory into a university campus, securing a twenty-nine-year lease from TEKEL in 1997.

This building, restored by the university to preserve its original architectural integrity, is also a recipient of the Europa Nostra Award, recognizing its cultural heritage significance.

Spanning over 45,000 square meters of indoor space, the campus houses classrooms, laboratories, the KHAS information center, all university faculties, institutes, the Rezan Has Museum, the rectorate, and deaneries.

The university's Core Program seeks to revolutionize traditional education methods by equipping first-year students with creative and critical questioning skills necessary across all societal sectors.

In this educational model covering the first grade, instead of the traditional exam system, assignments and projects are included so that students can be constantly active in the program.

By February 2002, the Central Library settled into a new 1,000 square meter facility on the Cibali campus, equipped to accommodate 177 patrons simultaneously.

Moreover, the university provides sports scholarships as a significant incentive, supporting students in their athletic pursuits based on their level of achievement.

Following this achievement, the Kadir Has Foundation acquired and restored the C block of the same building, which now houses the Faculty of Art & Design and the Rezan Has Museum.

Dr. Onurcan Yılmaz and Dr. Ozan İşler received the Sakıp Sabancı International Paper Award 2021 for their article analyzing the cognitive and behavioral consequences of the COVID-19 threat globally and in Turkey.
