Gebze Technical University is the youngest university in Turkey, yet it has the experience to become the most important hub for science in the country, thanks to its infrastructure, facilities and academic staff.
Gebze Technical Universirty started offering undergraduate education in 2001-2002 Academic Year under the Faculty of Engineering, with the Department of Computer Engineering and the Department of Electronics Engineering. The undergraduate education started in 2002-2003 Academic Year at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering and at the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Physics under the Faculty of Science; in 2008-2009 Academic year, at the Department of Management under the Faculty of Business Administration and at the Department of Architecture under the Faculty of Architecture; in 2010-2011 Academic Year, at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics under the Faculty of Science; in 2016-2017 Academic Year, at the Department of Environmental Engineering; and in 2017-2018 Academic Year, at the Department of Civil Engineering, Department of Chemical Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Bioengineering, Department of Geomatics Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering, at the department of City and Regional Planning under the Faculty of Architecture, and at the Department of Economics under the Faculty of Business Administration.
Gebze Technical University has always continued its efforts to offer education and teaching and conduct research in ever-increasing quality, and gained a new status being designated as one of the 10 research universities of Turkey, with the announcement made by Dear Mr. President at the opening ceremony for 2017-2018 Academic Year.

Pioneering technological developments and having close relations with many institutions such as TÜBİTAK and TSE, which are located in the same region as itself, Gebze Technical University has developed its R&D infrastructure with the protocols it has signed up to now, and increased the opportunities it can offer. By this means, thanks to the support it receives from institutions such as the Ministry of Development and TÜBİTAK, the university continues research conducting projects in vital subjects such as nanotechnology, defense technologies, unmanned aerial vehicles, electric cars, biotechnology, biological clock, and cancer that reflect the needs of our age.
