About the University	Bilkent University - the first private, nonprofit university in Turkey - was founded on October 20, 1984, by Professor ?hsan Do?ramac?, M.D., with the fundamental aim of creating a center of excellence in higher education and research. The name "Bilkent" exemplifies this aim, since it is an acronym of "bilim kenti": Turkish for "city of learning and science." The University campus is located off the main highway to Eski?ehir about 12 km. (10 miles) west of the center of Ankara, and covers an area of more than 500 hectares (1200 acres). The Faculty of Law offers a broad set of courses concerning all challenging dimensions of contemporary Law. The curriculum is structured to provide the students not only with knowledge in classical and substantial areas like constitutional law, administrative law, civil law, commercial law and criminal law, but also with basic professional information in other fields requiring an international perspective of specialization like competition law, intellectual and industrial property law, international commercial arbitration, European Union Law and international business law.
