Why Study at Sakarya University? Nanosicence & Sakarya is one of the most central states in Turkey. The city hosts a number of industrial companies such as Toyata Motor Manufac- Nanoengineering turing Turkey, Hyundai EURotem Train Factory and Otokar. It is Graduate Studies surrounded by beautiful landscapes and historical places, and an economical city for students.

Istanbul is about one and half hour from the campus by car or bus. The capital city, Ankara, is nearly 300 km’s away. The campus is fully equipped with modern buildings and overlooks the very famous Sapanca Lake.

Sakarya University has more than 60,000 students enrolled in higher-education, undergraduate and graduate studies in such areas as Engineering, Natural Sciences, Medicine, Law and Management. Each year hundreds of international students also pursue their studies individually or through some programs such as ERASMUS Student Exchange.
