Who is Murat Hüdavendigar?
Our university is named after Sultan Murat Hüdavendigar. This choice of name was because Murat Hüdavendigar (June 1326-June 1389) was the first Ghazi and Sultan

who ensured the institutionalization of the Ottoman State. He is also the ruler who founded the Ottoman State’s first large madrasa (which, in those times, fulfilled an equivalent role as our present-day universities). He also commissioned numerous work of arts, many of which have survived across the centuries. Through his support for inventors, scholar and artists, he established the foundations of the Ottoman
State’s achievements in the fields of science and art. During his outstanding rule that lasted for a period of nearly 30 years, Murat Hüdavendigar not only expanded the territories of the Ottoman Empire by fivefold, but also set the beginning of Ottoman presence and rule in European lands. He is considered by many as a ruler whose leadership was ahead of his time. He is also remembered in the hearts and minds of the people as “the Polite Knight.” Commemorations and celebrations are still organized to his name in the Balkans, and Alevi-Bektashigatherings still prepare lokma (a variety of Turkish pastry) and offer honeyed-milk in his memory.
The institution of Janissaries, which represented the most advanced and professional military organization of its time, was first founded during the reign of Murat
Hüdavendigar. Many other important and central state institutions were also established by him. During the transformation of the Ottoman State into a
World Empire, he annexed the city of Edirne and turned it into an Ottoman capital by building the first state palace. At Murat Hüdavendigar’s time, the
Ottoman State’s borders reached the walls of Constantinople. The fact that the area where our Ba ş ak ş ehir Campus is located was incorporated into the
Ottoman State’s borders during his rule bears an important meaning and significance for Murat Hüdavendigar University.

The Board of Trustees
(Chairman)
The Foundation
As one of Turkey’s most important Non-Governmental Organizations, the
Merve Education and Culture Foundation has, since its founding in 1996, provided both material and moral support to thousands of students of all educational levels. The foundation, which has won many awards, has conducted numerous activities to meet the educational needs of thousands of young individuals attending school. In this context, the foundation has made significant achievements in its goal to raise qualified and successful individuals.
The Merve Education and Culture foundation has finally crowned these achievements that benefit all of society by becoming the constituent foundation of our university.
From the Board of Trustees
The Murat Hüdavendigar University was founded on 2012 by the Merve
Education and Culture Foundation, which is one of Turkey’s leading nongovernmental organizations. As a non-profitfoundation university, the name chosen by Murat Hüdavendigar University was based on its desire to associate itself and its campuses with a historically important figure who significantly contributed to both civilization and education. As a ruler who first initiated the

institutionalization of the Ottoman State and who founded its first great foundation university (or madrasa), Ghazi Sultan Murat Hüdavendigar was clearly a figure who was ahead of his time. Murat Hüdavendigar’s actions, vision and mission (as described in the section regarding this important figure) holds great meaning and significance for our university, which also has its own dreams and ideals for the future. For this reason, our university not only adopted the name of this great Ghazi and Sultan, but also embraced his vision of “continuous progress.” We believe that the name of this innovative and pioneering leader will motive our Academic Staff and students to become qualified individuals who will demonstrate, in both their actions and thoughts, qualities and skills that are ahead of our times. The Board of Trustees aims to ensure that MHU becomes an important center of science and research. To this end, it is necessary to conduct research of international scope and nature, and to possess/raise members and staff who embrace the freedom of thought, knowledge and conscience. In accordance with this aim, the university considers it central to its role and existence to provide a suitable platform – both in terms of time and location – where valuable young students and qualified teachers specialized in their own fields can meet and conduct discussions. We believe that by doing so, it will be possible to raise individuals who possess superior moral qualities; the necessary humane and social awareness; the ability to properly read and understand modern times; and the necessary knowledge and skills. For this reason, MHU considers it a precondition to organize education in all of its departments according to universal standards and to a multi-disciplinary perspective. It also considers it as a duty to train its academic staff and to prepare its educational infrastructure according to this aim.
With the registration of nearly 80 private students to its two departments on the autumn of 2014; MHU says “Vira Bismillah” for its long-term goals, and a heartily greets its new principles and values.
We are setting off on our path and journey with full awareness that universities are institutions whose importance extends beyond the present; we hope that this path will continue to coincide with good intentions and objectives... We hope that each dream that comes to fruition will also allow new hopes to bloom … and we also hope that the brilliant youth of our beautiful country will acquire values and qualities that will be noticed not only across the world, but also across time.

Our Mission
As Murat Hüdavendigar University, our mission is to raise qualified individuals who have highself-confidence, who are respectful towards moral values, who are capable of objective and independent thought, who are aware and conscious of social issues, who are receptive to different perspectives, and who are inquisitive. We also aim to become an exemplary university by providing new perspectives to the academic community.
Our Vision
As Murat Hüdavendigar University, our vision is to become an education and research institution that produces and authors scientific studies at an international level; that possesses distinguished and esteemed academic staff in the areas of social and physical sciences; that promotes theco-existence of different cultures and thoughts; and which emphasizes a human-centeredapproach.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Fevzi B İ LG İ N
Assoc. Prof. Dr. M. Fevzi Bilgin completed his undergraduate education at the
Ankara University Faculty of Political Sciences (1995). He then completed his
Graduate and Doctorate education in 2004 at the University of Pittsburg in the
United States, by authoring a thesis entitled "Religion, Political Liberalism and
Formation of Political Morality." His areas of study focus mainly on the Theory of Democracy, Citizenship Students, Constitutional Theory, Religion and
Politics, the Middle East, Politics in Turkey, and USA-Turkey relations.
Some of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bilgin’s published studies are listed below:
Political Liberalism and Inclusion of Religion, Rutgers Journal of Law and
Religion 7(2006).
The US 2004 Presidential Elections and the Rise of Christian Right; Bilgi 10
(2005)
Does Globalization Weaken Democracy?; Civil Society 9 (2005)
Political Theology: Carl Schmitt and the Political Conceptual Analysis; Orient and Occident 30 (2004)
Eric Voegelin and the New Science of Politics; Divan 8 (2001)
In addition to his previously published studies, Dr. Bilgin also translated into
Turkish the groundbreaking work entitled “Political Liberalism” of the American political philosopher John Rawls, who is considered as one of the most important modern theoreticians of the 20 th century. The book was published by the Bilgi University Publications on 2007, and was soon sold out. The ending section of the book also presented Rawls’ draft concerning his plans to revise
Political Liberalism, as a well as a copy of his article entitled "Reconsidering
Public Reason,” which had remained incomplete due to Rawls’ death. Rawls’ book entitled “A Theory of Justice,” which was published in 1971, caused a considerable amount of debate in the fields of social and political sciences. As such, thousands of articles and books have been written on Rawls’ work. These criticisms – which included both positive and negative criticisms – have resulted in a considerable body of works and knowledge regarding the theory of justice.

In his work, Rawls attempted, based on certain axioms, to develop the general outlines of a theory of justice that would be acceptable for all. Rawls’ work entitled Political Liberalism, on the other hand, can be considered as his attempt to revise the theory of justice he had proposed in his previous work.
According to Dr. Bilgin, Rawls demonstrated in Political Liberalism one of the finest examples of political liberal thinking in the 20 th century. In this work, Rawls proposed the “Principle of
Rationality” as a concept of political mortality that could be accepted and adopted by different peoples despite their different understanding of morals and welfare. Concepts such as “rational individuals,” “rational teachings” and the “rational majority” are among the concepts that occupy a vital place in
Rawls’ model. Regardless of the views and opinions individuals might have; they are, by virtue of the principle of rationality, under obligation to recognize the existence of others and to respect their moral autonomy.

As a discipline, Turkish Language and Literature occupies a large and important position among Social Sciences in Turkey. This field not only holds great potential for the future, but is also a vitally important field of study for the preservation of national and cultural assets. The Turkish Language and
Literature is one of the most ancient languages and literatures of the world, having a history of nearly two thousand years, and being spread over a very wide geographical area. Owing to its history and geographical distribution, the
Turkish Language possesses a very rich artistic and intellectual heritage.

The department thus aims to raise individuals who are experts in this field.
As the Department of Turkish Language and Literature assumes a critically important role in transferring the cultural heritage of the Turkish people to future generations, receiving education in this departmentcan should be considered as a privilege. Our department provides students with sufficient knowledge of English not only the opportunity to engage in branch (or out-of-field) education on Turkish language and literature, but also the opportunity to do double majors or to take certificates in
Turkish language and literature while continuing their classes in other departments. In addition, students are provided given the option to take
English preparation courses in the United States for a period of 10 months, which will help reinforce their awareness as students of Murat Hüdavendigar
University.
Our Mission
As the Department of Turkish Language and Literature, our mission is to study written and oral materials from both the past and the present regarding the
Turkish Language and Literature; to share with society the information obtained from our studies; to play an effective and determining role in interactions with other cultures; and to raise scientists, academicians and educators who are proficient in the field.
Our Vision
As the Department of Turkish Language and Literature, our vision is to raise qualified individuals with excellent knowledge of the field; to prepare our students for graduate education; to provide our students with sources and information not only about Turkish literature, but also about the history and works of Western and Oriental literature Literature , as well as the existing theories regarding these literatures; to establish contact with Turkology

departments abroad, and to thereby present and promote our Department; to engage in various exchanges with the students and faculty members of

The Quality of Education and Teaching
The quality of a university can be assessed by various factors such as its qualified and specialized instructors; its scientific activities at an international level; the quality of its equipment and capabilities; the level of support it provides to scientific research activities; and its ability to provide conditions that are acceptable for students from all parts of the world. Murat
Hüdavendigar University aims to achieve the highest ranking in all of these areas. At our university; instructor and student relations will be shaped such that they ensure the most effective level of learning and skill among the

students. The methods and technique implemented at our university will also be designed according to this modern approach.
International Cooperations
We are the first university in Turkey that enables all of its preparatory class students to study in the United States.
Murat Hüdavendigar University was founded with the vision of creating a university that adopts international standards, and which thereby confers its students an international perspective while ensuring multiculturalism in its campuses. Through its
Cooperation and Exchange Agreements with universities across the world; our university presents our students not only the opportunity to visit and see different countries, but also the opportunity to live and study in them. In addition, the Double
Diploma Program Agreements our University allows our students to have the highest level of academic sufficiency and vision. In this context, MHU is the first and only university in Turkey that enables its preparatory school students to study in the
United States for 10 to 14 months. We are thus an international university that allows its students to obtain certificates from leading universities of the world. In addition to the fact that receive a 100% English education in many of the departments, students at MHU are also expected to graduate by sufficiently learning a second foreign language, to the extent that they can comfortably speak and understand it.
The New Center of Istanbul
Ba ş ak ş ehir, where our main campus is located, is a district that is as dynamic as its surroundings; it is also one of Istanbul’s new areas of planned development. Areas such as Bahçe ş ehir, Halkalı, Ba ş ak ş ehir ve Kaya ş ehir have a high concentration of residential buildings; consequently, these areas also have a larger number of people who are in need of higher education.
Considering this aspect allows a better appreciation of the importance of our campus’ location. The area where are campus is being constructed is also located at the intersection of the roads connecting the Olympic Stadium, the

currently planned Third Airport of Istanbul, the Istanbul metro and the planned road of the Third Istanbul Bridge. When its construction will be completed; the
Murat Hüdavendigar University will not only be a boutique urban university, but also one of the most modern Higher Education Institutions in both Istanbul and Turkey. Upon its completion, the University campus will significantly contribute to the development and dynamism of Ba ş ak ş ehir, which is rapidly becoming Istanbul's new urban center. Sular Vadisi, one of Istanbul’s largest public recreation areas, is located approximately 500 meters to the East of the
Ba ş ak ş ehir campus. Similarly; two large stadiums, a theme park, and one of
Turkey’s largest hospitals are located very close to the campus area. In addition, many organized industrials sites and modern shopping centers, which constitute the hub of the region’s commercial and social life, are in immediate proximity of the Ba ş ak ş ehir campus.
Architectural Lines and Character
Simple, functional and efficient … The aesthetic beauty of our campus is not for mere appearance; instead, it is the product of a design that aims to fulfill a particular function. The aesthetic character of the campus, which is directly associated with its high efficiency, was designed such that it would effectively appeal to people of different tastes and perspectives. The campus incorporates the latest building material technologies, presenting their earthly and simple forms and aesthetic appeal both to the users of the campus and to the people living in its environs.
JUST LIKE THE HÜDAVENDIGAR KÜLL İ YE AT BURSA …
The sturdy approach towards functional structure and construct, which avoids the bland imitation of historically-styled decorations, constituted one of the guiding principles of the design of the Murat Hüdavendigar University campus.
Cooperation with the Business World

Our University was founded with the contribution of well-known and esteemed businessmen, including those who are owners of famous and international brands. Thus, it is possible to state that our university was born from the cooperation between the academia and the industry, and was designed according to the requirements and realities of the business world. Owing to this cooperation, our students will be easily able to find numerous internship opportunities while studying, and, based on the experiences they gain during these internship, they will be able to adapt more readily to the realities and difficulties of the business world after graduation. In addition, as two of our campuses are located near industrial centers, our students will always be very close to the business world in other forms of cooperation between the university and the industry.
The Integrity between Social Life and the Environment
Murat Hüdavendigar University is located in the more recent and modern parts of Istanbul – a place where both industrial and urban elements merge. Owing to its campuses located in rapidly growing and prized residential areas, the
University can be easily reached from every location in Istanbul through the subway system and other forms of public transportation. The University is only a few minutes away from Aksaray and Taksim, and from the E-5, O-3, Old
Edirne Asphalt and
TEM highways. The University’s two campuses are not separated or cut off from daily life or the city environment; just as the university’s architecture and buildings are continuous with the city, our students are equally a direct part of the city. Thus, our University represents one of the examples of “URBAN
UNIVERSITIES” that exist across the world. Social life at the university and the city are continuous with one another. In this context, the city life will not only contribute to the personal development of our students, but also prevent them from becoming imprisoned in “ivory towers” where they become dissociated from life’s realities. At the same time, the university’s location allows it to provide its social and cultural means and facilities to the service of both the students and the city, thus ensuring close association between the university

and its city environment. As a result of this; just as the city environment will significantly contribute to our University and students, so will our University and students significantly contribute to the city environment through social responsibility projects.
