History

Doğuş University was founded by Act of Parliament #4281, passed on 9 July 1997 by the Turkish Grand National Assembly. The university is part of the Doğuş Group of Schools, which itself began with the founding of a high school in 1974 having the aims of educating its students as modern, secular, democratic and freethinking individuals following Atatürk’s principles and supplying them with the awareness and strength to contribute to Turkey's economic and cultural development.

After establishing the high school, the Doğuş Group of Schools established kindergartens, an elementary school, a science high school and an IB world school so as to completely serve the Turkish education system in each phase of elementary and secondary education. The Doğuş Group of Schools established the Doğuş Education Foundation in 1995 which facilitated the creation of the university.
