Sevgili teenagers, serhat city Ardahan always greet your love. When evaluating a university, it is necessary to not only look at this time, take into account the geography of the city, culture and vision of the university. Today, we will talk Ardahan and Ardahan University, located in a strategic position in the middle of our two border gates opened to Georgia in these territories where the Caucasus is neighboring to our country. Universities are not just right to see as profession-saving institutions. Universities are important centers that bring the knowledge of a nation to the future, nourishing civilization draft, producing science and guiding society.
Our students can easily pass to Georgia and Azerbaijan without needing the passport. The university candidate is very important that young people are interested in doing their preferences, they can bring their talents and turn themselves into areas that they can feel happy, because the individual will be both more efficient and happier when doing their favorite job. The University of Ardahan is moving with this consciousness since its foundation; taking the student into the center, offering an inner campus life with nature, and our students are able to continue their minds in the way without having the problem of shelter, and continue to continue their high schooling courses.
Ardahan University was founded in June 22, 2008 with the motto "Heating" and met students in 2009-2010. This time, which will not be longer counted in terms of higher education history, is able to write success stories when managed with a correct vision. Today, it acts with the "Information Power" that is powered by science-ascending information.
Since our dryness, we aim to be the science gate opened to our country's Caucasus and Central Asia. With the acceleration we have captured in the direction of this goal, we have increased more than 5 thousand digits on the global scale in Webometrics World University Rankings; in the last two years, we rivet our success by combining 30 digits in the national ranking. We are an accredited university registered in Turkey in 6th place according to YÖK report today. Our goal is to move our institution which has been among the first 3 thousand universities in the world with this acceleration we have captured in a short time.
The actual power of a university is not in the premises; close to the human source and student. As Ardahan University, we don’t see that our students only have a diploma; we focus on the vision of growing "quality man". In this direction, we offer our students a modern educational infrastructure.
With this understanding, we learn our students in critical areas such as online artificial intelligence training. We started the installation process within our Engineering Facultemiz with "TUBİTAK Millî Technology Laboratory" and developed "Arüvis" computerized data collection software, the move is the most concrete evidence that we have overcome a global innovation culture to our students.
Today is one of the most important headers in high school. The success of universities is not only with the number of graduates; the quality of education is evaluated by international visibility and quality assurance systems. As Ardahan University, we have accredited our Literature, History, Geography, Economics, Business, Public Management and International Relations programs in international standards and offer Turkey Qualifications Framework (TYÇ) sealed diplomas to our graduates. Our graduates have a professional passport with direct validity throughout the world. Our rise in the Webometrics ranking and the 6th place in Turkey in the course satisfaction report of YÖK supports our commitment. Quality is not an established goal for us, it is a process that needs to be continuously improved.
The success of a university is measured not only with academic performance; with the possibilities it offers to the student. At Ardahan University, we are ranked in the first 5 in Turkey; we offer our successful students the opportunity to work tomorrow in our university units as well as various scholarships. With our budget-friendly construction, safe shelter in our modern dorms and campuses, Ardahan does not have any student’s shelter and domestic problems in Ardahan, it allows our students to completely devote their mind to their lessons and future. We offer quality nutrition options in our canteen and dining halls that are suitable for modern and hygiene principles, we also recognize the opportunity to benefit our students from the Red Crescent Boutique Store. We enrich campus life with our Student Council and 45 student clubs as well as social, cultural and sports activities organized by our club, as well as various social responsibility projects.

Gebze Organized Industrial Zone (GOSB) is the "Sector Campus" program that we integrate into the collaboration protocols and our curriculum which we signed with the industry sector industry sector, with the lessons that sector representatives contribute to personally, our youngsters step into the center of the business world without a graduate yet.

Ardahan University continues its work with a vision of healthy life and sports culture center. In line with this vision, our campus moved to the highest level of our standards in this field with the "Sport Friendly Campus Certificate" registered quality. In addition to being a single university with golf course in Turkey, the Su Sports Center, which we opened in Lake Çldir, with cooperation of Ardahan Governorship and Youth and Sport Provincial Directorate, also offers a unique opportunity to our students; Cane and sailing sports can be built in Lake Çlendir, and our students can participate in these events.

In winter, our students take practiced trainings at Soloçam Ski Center; our students who are studying in our departments within the Faculty of Sport Sciences, so they find the opportunity to experience both skiing and tourism and participate in organized training and competitions. The onlyçam Ski Center, one of the most important winter tourism points of the region with its unique crystal snow structure, modern telesecond line and wind forests, is about 15-22 kilometers from the city center of Ardahan, 20-25 minutes from the city center, our campus can be reached in about one hour.
Our campus at 10 kilometers distance from the city center, nature and clean air to our students are both healthy and productive life. This vision is not only the development of sportive skills; it is aimed to bring discipline, self-confidence and team spirit. Science is a universal value that does not recognize the limit. Therefore, we see internationalization as one of the key strategic priorities of our university. Our main aim is to bring Ardahan to the center of Turkology, a world-oriented to the Caucasus and Central Asia; in this direction we plan to establish a Turkish Institute of Studies in our country. As a concrete step of this vision, we launched a student exchange program within the educational business period we signed with West Kazakhstan University. The first student group from Kazakhstan was studying for three months in our university; from September 2026, 24 students from our university continue to Kazakhstan, and 28 students from Kazakhstan will receive three-month training by coming to our university. We expand our business troops from Poland to Warsaw University with institutions such as Goce Delçev University and Baku Slavyan University from North Macedonia. In particular, we strengthen our educational bridges with "Kardeş Azerbaijan" and offer language and cultural conveniences to Azerbaijani students, we continue our double diploma studies among two countries. Thanks to our powerful Erasmus+ and Orhun exchange programs, we open our students to the end of internship and training doors in the European, Caucasus and Central Asia scale.
Not only information transmissions expected from universities today; information generation and technology development. "TUBİTAK Millî Technology Laboratory", which we started the installation process within our Engineering Facultemiz, offers practical work to our young people in the field of artificial intelligence and data technologies. The move we started with "Arüvis" computerized data collection software is a concrete reflection of this vision. We aim to grow our students not only using technology; developing and producing youth with our online artificial intelligence trainings in ARÜSEM. Among our projects, we aim to create a small-scale high school campus on Sabadur Tepesi and create a campus that will also include sports complexes with modern student dorms to support the physical development of our students. In our campus, we also implemented the project of lentil and nohut planting in our region, as well as the estimated melon wheat, which was 12.000 years old. In this way, we are going to the forefront with a regional development-oriented campus structure.
