ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY

Samsun Ondokuz Mayıs University (OMÜ) is an established State University founded in 1975. In an academic world with more than 31 thousand universities, we have consistently ranked in the various international ranking systems and ranked in Times Higher Education's World University Rankings, Impact Rankings, Young University Rankings, Emerging Economies University Rankings, and Asia University Rankings. We also work tirelessly for a sustainable and green future, which enabled us to place in the UI GreenMetric ranking. We have outstanding academic and administrative staff members and high-level physical facilities, which we use to establish and disseminate a quality. Our University has signed exchange programs with various universities worldwide in 322 different programs within the scope of Erasmus. Exchange agreements with 40 international universities have been signed within the scope of the Mevlana Program and with a further 99 national universities under the Farabi Program. Our students actively benefit from these exchange programs and contribute to expanding their perspectives on the world with the experiences they have gained in the countries and cities they visit. Our University also has bilateral cooperation agreements which cover the whole world. OMU has taken the first concrete step in the research and development policies put forward by the rectorate by gathering the R&D centres under one roof. OMU has crowned this progress with the accreditation of The Black Sea Advanced Technology Research and Application Center (KITAM) and implementation of the web-based automation system. Our University, which helps the plant find its commercial value through the Cannabis Research Institute, continues to pioneer the region with its studies. Our University also organized the Middle Black Sea Career Fair (OKAF) in a short time with great success and organized the first career fair of 2022 in Samsun. At OKAF, hosted by OMU, 202 companies, 10 thousand students and 15 thousand visitors were brought together in 75 career events. With 83 companies, 453 personnel and 102 ongoing projects it hosts, TEKNOPARK and Technology Transfer Office (TTO), the bridge that enables cooperation between our University and industry, plays a vital role in fulfilling one of our most significant duties towards society.
