The World Education Foundation founded Biruni University, inspired by Abu Reyhan El-Biruni, one of the most important scientists in the global history of science, declared a Universal Genius by UNESCO in 1974. World Education Established was founded to initiate a universal health-based university to contribute to both the academia and the life of our country through theoretic and applied scientific studies. In order to reach that aim we held several consultations with prominent intellectuals and people of science in our country. As a result of this survey, it is determined that a health-based university would be founded on the principles of thinking and acting in a scientific way, through research and universality. Founders and the board of trustees gave the university name of ‘Biruni’, a Turkish man of science who was declared a “universal genius” by UNESCO in 1974, as an appropriate name for both its mission and vision. Based on the ancient foundation tradition, The World Education Foundation’s mission is to support educational institutions and health institutions for the benefit of humanity.
Biruni University, which measures itself by global world standards, is developing collaborations with international, pioneering and renowned health institutions in the field of education. Our university has made agreements with leading institutions across the sector and established significant strategic partnerships. In addition, student exchange and internship mobility programs are implemented with many universities in Europe under the Erasmus+ program. To further this goal, the International Relations Office takes part in the international management of Biruni University. By participating in international education fairs such as NAFSA (Association of International Educators), and EAIE (European Association for International Education), we explore cooperation options with Europe, America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
