HISTORY

World Education Established was founded to initiate a universal
health-based university to contribute to both the academia and the
life of our country through theoretic and applied scientific studies. In
order to reach that aim we held several consultations with prominent
intellectuals and people of science in our country. As a result of this

survey, it is determined that a health-based university would be
founded on the principles of thinking and acting in a scientific way,
through research and universality. Founders and the board of trustees
gave the university name of ‘Biruni’, a Turkish man of science who was
declared a “universal genius” by UNESCO in 1974, as an appropriate
name for both its mission and vision.

Biruni University, with an aim to find and train our country’s next
generation of Biruni’s, took its place within the Turkish system of

higher education as a civil corporation after the World Education
Foundation applied to the Turkish Grand National Assembly according
to Law number 6525 on 27 February 2014.
