Balıkesir University

The foundation of Balıkesir University goes back to the Karesi Teacher Training College, which was established in 1910. This school was moved to the building that today operates as Necatibey Education Faculty in 1932 with the special interest of Mustafa Necati, the Minister of National Education of the time, and was named Necatibey Teachers School. Necatibey Teachers' College continued to train teachers under the name of Necatibey Education Institute between 1932-1982; In 1981, it was removed from its three-year status and taken into the 4-year "Higher Teacher School" status; In 1982, it was affiliated to Uludağ University and named as Necatibey Faculty of Education. Similarly, with the Decree Law No. 41 in 1982, other higher education institutions in Balıkesir (Balıkesir Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management, Balıkesir Faculty of Engineering and Balıkesir Vocational College) was affiliated to Uludağ University. These institutions, which have remained under the roof of Uludağ University for ten years, have formed a strong infrastructure for Balıkesir University with a healthy and stable development. Balıkesir University was established in accordance with the Law No. 3837 published in the Official Gazette No. 21281 and dated July 11, 1992; and the university gained legal acknowledgement on 1 January 1993. Balıkesir University has also given the opportunity to a new university to be born with its strong development. The designated academic units of Balıkesir University formed the infrastructure of Bandırma Onyedi EylUl University, which was established in 2015.
