AGU, established on July 21, 2010, adopting the first foundation-supported state university model in Turkey. The university is the transformation of the Sumerbank Cotton Yarn Factory, one of the first and largest industrialized campuses in Turkey, into an educational campus. It admitted its first students in the academic year 2013-2014. The construction process of another campus, Mimar Sinan Campus, is ongoing. Efforts to establish a new state university in Kayseri began in 2007, bringing together the leading figures of Kayseri with the support of the Metropolitan Municipality. One of the key points that brought AGU into existence as a new model aimed at international-level education and research is AGU Support Foundation (AGUV). Established on July 13, 2011, AGUV started its activities to provide parallel and effective support for the university's growth. Abdullah Gül University is applied in all areas of life, demonstrating our commitment to preserving values ​​and advocating fundamental rights related to Equality and Freedoms equally. AGU embraces its own Equality and Freedom Principles.
