Sanko Üniversitesi

Sanko University's core mission is "Service to Humanity". The university aims to add value to both local and universal knowledge while educating individuals who will serve the country and the whole of humanity with this approach. At the heart of its vision is respect for science, ethical values, society, and the universe we live in: SANKO is committed to creating a free, peaceful, and safe environment in which everyone may research and explore. The university also strives to make its hospital the most trusted and advanced healthcare base in the region, while raising the quality of clinical care and producing physicians with both professional competence and high ethical standards.

Sanko University's status as Turkey's first thematic university dedicated to medicine and health sciences gives it a uniquely focused academic mission and deep specialization in the medical field. The university operates a modern teaching hospital (Sani Konukoğlu Hospital) serving the southeastern region, providing students with hands-on clinical training from their earliest years. Located in the historic city of Gaziantep — one of southern Turkey's most economically and culturally significant cities — the university benefits from reasonable living costs and a large Arab community. Programs in Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, and Health Sciences are offered in English, with a language preparation year available. Distinguished faculty including practicing specialists, advanced anatomy and medical simulation labs, and scholarships for outstanding international students make Sanko a preferred destination for Arab students seeking to study medicine in Turkey.
