Sabancı University became the highest-placed Turkish foundation university on the Times Higher Education (THE) Asian University Rankings.

The Times Higher Education (THE) Asian University Rankings is an important benchmark that assesses research-focused universities in terms of education, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook. The rankings cover universities in the Asian continent as well as those in Turkey, Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon.

Sabancı University President Professor Nihat Berker:  “As you will know, Sabancı University ranked 13th worldwide and 1st in Turkey on the Times Higher Education (THE) '100 Under 50" Rankings' last month.  Today, we have also been informed that we entered the THE Asian University Rankings for the first time and in 21st position. Six Turkish universities appeared on the rankings and Sabancı was the highest-positioned private university.  A short while ago, we ranked 15th among the 22 countries on the THE BRICS and Emerging Economies rankings.

These achievements by Sabancı University make us proud and happy, and we believe that we will continue to improve in the future.  We are also glad to see other Turkish universities advance in the rankings, and are confident that collaboration will take us even further. 

Sabancı University owes this success to the hard work and dedication of its undergraduate and graduate students, faculty members, employees, supporters and friends.  It is due to the human-focused, performance- and merit-based approach to our students, faculty and employees that encourages a questioning and free spirit, and provides leading services in education and research.  It is our pleasure to be at the top of the global competitive scene."

Six universities from Turkey appeared in the THE Asian University Rankings including Sabancı University, which teaches its 16th academic year. The six Turkish universities are ranked as follows: METU (12), Boğaziçi (14),  ITU (19), Sabancı (21), Bilkent (30) and Koç (47).  

About the Times Higher Education (THE) Rankings:

THE University Rankings are considered to be the globally most respected rankings that provide the most comprehensive and balanced comparisons, which are trusted by students, academics, university leaders, industry and governments.  THE assesses successful universities based on 13 performance indicators in teaching (30%), research (30%), citations (30%), industry income (2.5%) and international outlook (7.5%). The THE rankings are the only global university performance tables to judge universities across all five of their core missions.

Although all performance indicators are balanced, number of citations and international reputation are the two most important indicators that are considered.

THE rankings editor Phil Baty said, "Entering the rankings for the first time, Sabancı University showed impressive performance and was positioned 21st.”

2015 Graduation Class Commencement Days

Materials Science and Engineering Graduate Program 2009 alumnus Canan Dağdeviren added a new achievement to her long line of success. Canan developed a tattoo-like wearable device that is designed to facilitate the diagnosis of skin cancer, and provides results in less than 10 seconds.

Our graduate Dr. Canan Dağdeviren, who is the first Turkish national to be appointed "Junior Fellow" to Harvard University, developed a tattoo-like wearable device that is designed to facilitate the diagnosis of skin cancer, and provides results in less than 10 seconds.

One of the "30 Young Scientists Under 30" as chosen by Forbes, Dr. Dağdeviren published her work in the Nature Materials journal.

Canan achieved this breakthrough success at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she currently pursues her scientific endeavors.

Turkish inventor develops device that diagnoses cancer in under 10 seconds 

Dr. Dağdeviren explains that the device applies pressure on the skin to assess its mechanical properties.  "This shows us whether that part of skin is susceptible to cancer. The mechanical properties of skin cancer are known. When results are similar to the known properties, biopsy and other procedures are called for."

Dr. Dağdeviren says she applied the device to suspected cancer patients, while a physician performed biopsies: "I sent them my own data. I told them what looked abnormal. Biopsy results came two weeks later and exactly confirmed my findings. This is a quick, painless and simple method. You get results in less than ten seconds."

Use of the device

Dr. Dağdeviren says that the device is wearable like a tattoo, and may be removed and replaced: "It is so thin that it is not felt at all on the body. Electrical connections send the data to computers. This is processed by a software that yields a colored map of the body, showing its mechanical properties. Even very small sites of anomaly are visible on this map."

Sabancı University School of Management Faculty Member Nakiye Boyacıgiller was a panelist in the conference held by Junior Chamber International (JCI), a platform bringing together more than a quarter of a million young leaders from over 100 countries worldwide, at the Istanbul Congress Center on June 4, 2015.

Other panelists were Turkish Airlines Cargo VP Marketing and Sales Halit Anlatan, UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organisation) Program Coordinator Damla Taşkın, European Angel Investors Network Emeritus Chair Paulo Andrez, and European Angel Investors Network Vice President Baybars Altuntaş.

The panel focused on young unemployment and the sustainable solutions implemented by the panelists to overcome this issue in their respective areas of work. One key reason for high young unemployment rates was said to be the inability of university education to provide the knowledge and skills actually required in professional life.

In her speech, Nakiye Boyacıgiller discussed the different education system at Sabancı University. Boyacıgiller said that Sabancı University brought a fresh look at education in Turkey, and that its innovative model meant that alumni were at peace with their diplomas. Boyacıgiller also explained the close ties of Sabancı University with business, and that university-business partnership projects were being implemented by all faculties, programs and centers.

Nakiye Boyacıgiller said, “The curriculum at Sabancı University is designed by considering the needs of both local and global businesses. Students of Sabancı University are subject to required internship, which enables them to know the world of business more closely and become aware of their competencies. We also ensure that our undergraduate students implement and/or support a project. As a result, almost 90% of Sabancı University graduates find jobs in one of the leading companies in Turkey or the world, or are admitted to graduate education in the finest universities around the world."

About Junior Chamber International:
Junior Chamber International (JCI) is a global platform bringing together a quarter of a million young leaders from over 100 countries in the world, who are mostly in their 20s and 30s. JCI members meet, learn and develop through numerous local, national and global projects and activities. Millions of graduates support the projects and activities of JCI. JCI members embrace the vision of "being the leading global network for active citizens" and work towards their mission to "make a positive contribution to the development of society by providing new opportunities for young people to improve." Junior Chamber International is an international society that seeks to impart its members with leadership qualities and social awareness to ensure positive change in the societies they live. The common qualities of JCI members are that they are individuals between 18 and 40 years of age who are willing to undertake teamwork, improve themselves, and are internationally capable both in business and social life.
