Istanbul Bilgi University (watch video presentation) is a private, non-profit university. It was established on June 7, 1996 and today, with its 4 faculties, 2 institutions, 28 undergraduate, 20 graduate programs, and a vocational school, it is one of the leading universities of Turkey. Bilgi's motto is "non scholae sed vitae discimus".

The SantralIstanbul campus is located in the Silahtarağa Santral - Turkey's first electric power station. In May 2004 the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry turned Silahtarağa Santral over to Istanbul Bilgi University and today the new campus hosts the university art and science departments, a contemporary arts museum, and a state-of-the-art library open to the public.
