Başkent University, Private university in Ankara, Turkey.
Başkent University is a private institution in Ankara with twelve faculties offering medicine, engineering, law, and communications programs. The campus includes several hospitals and medical centers that serve both as teaching facilities and healthcare providers.
The institution was founded in 1994 from the Turkish Organ Transplant and Burns Treatment Foundation and was Turkey's first private university focused on health sciences. This origin shaped its early emphasis on medical education and research.
