Fatih University is a private (foundation) university with branches in Büyükçekmece, and, European Side, Istanbul, Turkey. In Turkey, there is no private university in the actual sense yet: All universities are subject to regulations of the Higher Education Council and all get their students via Student Selection and Placement Center (SSPC), a governmental institution that holds countrywide compulsory exam for entrance to universities. It employs professors from over 30 countries focusing on academic diversity. Fatih University has the highest rate of international students (from 102 countries) among Turkish universities, which makes it the most colorful Turkish university.[citation needed] Tuition fee for international students is the same as the native students.[citation needed] The number of students getting education at the university is around 15 thousand.English is the medium of instruction in most departments, and students are encouraged to learn an additional foreign language.[citation needed] There are also separate/parallel departments that teach students in Turkish, native language.

The university has two clinics and a hospital, a bionano technology lab and a biopetrol research and development center intensively working (besides regular research labs in departments). The university was established in 1996 by the Turkish Association of Health and Medical Treatment. The ninth President Suleyman Demirel was present at the formal inauguration of the University in November 1996.
