İstanbul University (İstanbul Üniversitesi; website) is made of 16 Faculties, 2 Schools and 2 Vocational Schools. Some 90,000 students are taught by 5,300 staff members. The university manages 12 campuses, the main of them being BeyazÄıt-Central campus, whose monumental gate, built in 1864-1869, is the symbol of the university.
İstanbul University is considered to have been first established in
1453 by Sultan Mehmed II in Zeyrek and Hagia Sophia madrasahs. Among
the first professors was the mathematician and astronomer Ali Qushji
(1403-1474), the head of Samarkand observatory. In 1470, the two
madrasahs were incorporated into the Fatih complex, which included a
mosque, eight madrasahs, a library, an hospital and a guest-house.
Mulla Khusraw (d. 1480) was the first head of the complex. In 1557,
Suleyman the Magnificent commissioned the architect Mimar Sinan to
build the Suleyman complex, a peak in the Ottoman architecture and
education.
In the 19th century, the madrasahs, deemed obsolete, were replaced by
institutes of higher education called darülfünun, which were the core of the modern İstanbul University. Recognized a State school on 21 April 1924, the university was reorganized on 1 August 1933.
In the 1930s, the İstanbul University hired several German and
Austrian scientists expelled from the Third Reich by anti-Jewish laws
or for political reasons, such as the astronom Erwin Finlay-Freundlich
(1885-1964), the botanist Alfred Heilbronn (1885-1961), the
philologist Leo Spitzer (1887-1960), the mathematician Richard von
Mises (1883-1953), the odontologist Alfred Kantorowicz (1880-1962),
and the physician Friedrich Dessauer (1881-1963).
