Koç University offers 22 undergraduate, 31 graduate and 16 PhD programs.
It was founded in 1993 by the Vehbi Koç Foundation, with the aim of creating a world-class university and stimulating modern research. The majority of classes (over 96%) at Koç University are taught in English (few exceptions are found only in the School of Law and School of Nursing) The university has about 5,500 students and charges the highest tuition amongst all universities in Turkey. It accepts international students from various countries and has an extensive network of partner-universities.
Koc University has the following academic units:
Gibney Dance, founded in 1991 by choreographer Gina Gibney, is a multi-faceted dance organization occupying two locations in New York City: one at 890 Broadway in the Flatiron District and the other at 280 Broadway in Tribeca. The organization’s activities are divided into the following three interrelated fields: Center, Company, and Community. The first, Center, refers to the facility and its programming, which provide rehearsal space to nonprofit and commercial renters in addition to classes, programs, and services to the New York dance community. Company refers to Gibney Dance Company, a professional contemporary dance company operating out of the Center. Finally, Community refers to Community Action, an outreach program uniting dancers with survivors of domestic violence in shelters around New York City. In 2008, Gibney Dance was inducted into Vanity Fair’s Hall of Fame for “making art and taking action”.
In 1991, choreographer Gina Gibney founded Gibney Dance in New York City as a performing and social action company. The following year, she began renting space in the historic 890 Broadway building to house her company’s rehearsals. The space, then called Studio 5-2, soon became home to a roster of professional level dance classes taught by some of the city’s most sought-after teachers. Over the next two decades, Gibney and her company developed a repertory of eight evening length works that were performed throughout the country as well as in Canada, Germany, and Turkey. From 1997 until 2007, Gibney Dance Company operated as an all-female troupe, a decision resulting from Gibney’s growing concern that women in professional dance were losing artistic and financial ground. Since 2007, the company has included both men and women.
A university (Latin: universitas, "a whole") is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which grants academic degrees in various subjects and typically provides undergraduate education and postgraduate education. The word "university" is derived from the Latin universitas magistrorum et scholarium, which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars."
The original Latin word "universitas" refers in general to "a number of persons associated into one body, a society, company, community, guild, corporation, etc." At the time of the emergence of urban town life and medieval guilds, specialised "associations of students and teachers with collective legal rights usually guaranteed by charters issued by princes, prelates, or the towns in which they were located" came to be denominated by this general term. Like other guilds, they were self-regulating and determined the qualifications of their members.
In modern usage the word has come to mean "An institution of higher education offering tuition in mainly non-vocational subjects and typically having the power to confer degrees," with the earlier emphasis on its corporate organization considered as applying historically to Medieval universities.

Oliver Gurney Memorial Lecture - Sacred Landscapes and Alalakh 18 May 2017 18:30 to 20:30 Professor Dr. K. Aslıhan Yener The Oriental Institute, (Emerita) - University of Chicago Koç University (Emerita) - Department of Archaeology and History of Art Tell Atchana, (ancient Alalakh), is well suited to contribute to the topic of ritual landscapes. We are particularly interested in the introduction of new cults and their associated rituals in the international Late Bronze Age, when many foreign contacts and eventually foreign overlords such as the Hittites affected local society on many levels. This lecture will focus on newly excavated contexts and dating, sacred architecture, new seals, and burial practices.
Dr. Ivana Jevtic, faculty member of the archaeology and history of art department at Koc University, Istanbul, discusses how narrative imagery was developed in Byzantine painting, one of the less-explored facets of that era's visual culture. Her focus is on the late Byzantine period, when visual storytelling grew in popularity and the depicted figures evolved from static icons to become animated, expressive characters set in elaborate scenes.
In this webinar series from Cambridge University Press, we consider the most useful features to look for in teaching materials, and how these features can positively impact your students' learning experiences. In Part 1, we consider features that can improve the range and depth of a student's vocabulary. In addition, techniques for encouraging students to actively log vocabulary are presented. Knowing that students need repeated exposure to new vocabulary items, we suggest several fun activities for recycling vocabulary in meaningful ways to keep vocabulary at the forefront of students' minds. The speaker is Helen Sandiford, one of the authors of Touchstone.
