What the AYBU Homepage Tells You About the University
Updated
The aybu.edu.tr homepage is the official site of Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt Üniversitesi (AYBU). It works as a live dashboard of the university: recent news, official announcements, upcoming events, media coverage, and a "Sayılarla AYBÜ" (AYBU in Numbers) section. If you want a quick sense of what the university is doing right now—research activity, student achievements, scholarship calls, and campus events—the homepage is the fastest place to start. For formal or time-sensitive matters, always confirm details on the linked announcement or event page rather than relying on the headline alone.
What the homepage actually shows
The page is organized into a few repeating blocks, each with a "View All" link:
| Section | What it contains | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| News | Recent university stories with dates | Shows research, awards, and institutional activity |
| Announcements | Official notices (applications, scholarships, deadlines) | Actionable items with dates and times |
| Events | Talks, seminars, training sessions with date, time, and venue | Lets you plan attendance or registration |
| AYBU in Media | Press coverage | External view of the university |
| Sayılarla AYBÜ | University figures at a glance | Quick quantitative overview |
The top of the page also links to practical services such as the Career Center (Kariyer Merkezi), AYBUZEM (distance education), the Library (Kütüphane), EBYS (document management), email, and AYBU NET. These are entry points to student and staff systems rather than content sections.
Reading the news section
News items carry a date and a short summary. Recent examples from the homepage show the range of activity:
- An international symposium on Islamic scholars from Transoxiana to Anatolia, bringing together academics from 12 countries with 80 papers presented.
- A meeting on planning club activities for the 2026–2027 academic year.
- Management Information Systems students winning first place in the TEKNOFEST Financial Technologies competition with an "OffPay" project designed to keep digital payments working during internet or banking outages.
- A symposium on arbitration in individual labor disputes, attended by academics, judges, public officials, and private-sector representatives.
Read these as signals of institutional priorities—international research, technology competitions, and law—not as complete records. For the full list, use "View All News."
Announcements: the actionable part
Announcements are where deadlines and applications appear. The homepage shows items such as:
- An İŞKUR application process and lottery draw.
- The Özdemir Bayraktar National Technology Scholarship Program.
- Applications opening for the Digital University Platform.
- A panoramic Ankara tour.
Each entry has a date and time stamp. Because these are time-bound, treat the homepage as an index and open the individual announcement for eligibility, required documents, and the actual application channel. The homepage excerpt does not state fees or eligibility rules, so do not assume a program is free or open to everyone without checking the notice.
Events: date, time, and venue
Event listings are more detailed than news items. They typically include the title, date, time, and location, and sometimes a registration link. Examples:
- A trainer training session on instructional processes (from content design to assessment), 23 October 2026, 10:00, at the Etlik Milli İrade Campus, Block A, with a registration form link.
- "Body Language and Effective Communication," 21 October 2026, 13:00, at the AYBU Turkish Music State Conservatory Conference Hall.
- The arbitration symposium, 19 October 2026, 09:30, at the Milli İrade Campus Grand Conference Hall.
If you plan to attend, note the campus and hall—AYBU uses multiple campuses—and check whether a registration form is required before the date.
"Sayılarla AYBÜ" and the media section
"Sayılarla AYBÜ" presents the university through figures. The homepage excerpt names the section but does not reproduce the numbers, so open it directly for current counts. "AYBU in Media" collects external press coverage, useful if you want an outside perspective alongside official messaging.
Practical tips for using the site
- Start with Announcements if you have a deadline; start with Events if you want to attend something.
- Use "View All" links to see items beyond the homepage's short list.
- Cross-check dates: the homepage shows both publication timestamps and event dates, which are not the same thing.
- For services (library, email, EBYS, distance learning), use the top navigation links rather than searching the news feed.
In short, the AYBU homepage is best read as a current-awareness page: it tells you what the university is publishing and scheduling now, and points you to the detailed pages where decisions and registrations actually happen.
