Selçuk University

Selçuk University (Turkish: Selçük Üniversitesi) is a public university in Konya, on the central Anatolian plateau of Turkey, created in 1975 by Law No. 1873 of the Grand National Assembly and named after the Seljuk Turks, whose Sultanate of Rum ruled from Konya in the thirteenth century.塞尔丘克大学（土耳其语：Selçuk Üniversitesi）是土耳其安纳托利亚中部高原科尼亚市的一所公立大学，1975 年依大国民议会第 1873 号法律创设，校名取自塞尔柱突厥人——其罗姆苏丹国十三世纪曾以科尼亚为都。

It is one of the country's largest higher education institutions, with roughly 63,000 students, about 2,700 academicians and lecturers, 23 faculties, a state conservatory and 22 vocational schools spread across Konya province.该校是土耳其规模最大的高教机构之一，在校生约 6.3 万人、教学科研人员约 2700 人，下设 23 个学院、1 所国立音乐学院与 22 所职业学校，分布在科尼亚省各地。

In the 2027 cycle it sits in the 1201-1400 band of the QS World University Rankings and the same band of Times Higher Education, is placed 1,589th by U.S. News for 2026-27, and does not appear in the 2026 ARWU main table.在 2027 榜单周期中，该校位列 QS 世界大学排名 1201-1400 区间、泰晤士高等教育排名同一区间，2026-2027 年度 U.S. News 全球榜单位列第 1589 名，2026 年软科世界大学学术排名主榜则未见其名。

History

• The campaign for a university in Konya began in 1955, when a bill was drafted in the Grand National Assembly and attracted a majority of signatures, only to be stopped at the Ministry of National Education.科尼亚争取办大学的运动始于 1955 年，大国民议会当年拟出法案并获得过半数议员联署，却在国民教育部这一关被挡下。

• Seven years later, in 1962, the ministry opened the Selçuk Education Institute and the Higher Islamic Institute in the city, the first durable institutions of higher learning on the road to a university.七年后即 1962 年，国民教育部在科尼亚开设塞尔丘克教育学院与高等伊斯兰学院，这是通往大学之路上最早站稳脚跟的高等学府。

• In 1968 local notables formed the Association for the Founding and Sustenance of the University, which raised money and lobbied Ankara for a full university rather than another teacher-training school.1968 年当地士绅组建“创办与维系大学协会”，一面筹款，一面向安卡拉游说，要求办一所完整大学而非再添一所师范学校。

• The association's most concrete achievement was the Engineering-Architecture college, which began teaching in the 1970-71 academic year in a building lent by the General Directorate of Child Services, without premises, budget or library of its own.该协会最实在的成果是工程与建筑学院，它于 1970-1971 学年在儿童服务总局借用的一栋楼里开课，没有自己的校舍、预算与图书馆。

• Under Article 9 of Law No. 1418 the college was chartered as the Konya State Academy of Architecture and Engineering, giving the city its first state engineering school and a template for the university to come.依第 1418 号法律第 9 条，该学院获准定名为科尼亚国立建筑与工程学院，科尼亚由此有了第一所国立工科学院，也为日后的大学立下雏形。

• The decisive step came with Law No. 1873, published in the Official Gazette in 1975, which founded four universities and made Selçuk University one of them with Konya as its seat.决定性一步是 1975 年刊登于官方公报的第 1873 号法律，该法一次创办四所大学，塞尔丘克大学名列其中，校址定在科尼亚。

• Selçuk opened for teaching in 1976-77 with just two faculties, Science and Literature, seven subjects, 327 students and two permanent lecturers, a modest start that belies its present size.塞尔丘克大学于 1976-1977 学年开学，仅设理学院与文学院两院、七个专业，学生 327 人、专任讲师 2 人，起点之小与今日规模形成鲜明对照。

• The 1981 higher education law and the Council of Higher Education it created recast Selçuk on the national model, standardising degrees, departments and the appointment of rectors across Turkey.1981 年高等教育法与据此设立的高等教育委员会按全国统一模式改组塞尔丘克大学，学位、系所建制与校长任命方式自此与土耳其各校一致。

• Medical education turned Konya into a referral centre for central Anatolia, as the Faculty of Medicine and its Meram teaching hospital drew patients from Konya, Karaman, Aksaray and Niğde.医学教育使科尼亚成为安纳托利亚中部的转诊中心，医学院及其梅拉姆教学医院接收来自科尼亚、卡拉曼、阿克萨赖与尼代的患者。

• Through the 1980s and 1990s new faculties followed in law, theology, education, agriculture, veterinary medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and fine arts, turning a provincial college into a comprehensive university.1980 至 1990 年代，法学院、神学院、教育学院、农学院、兽医学院、牙学院、药学院与美术学院相继设立，一所地方学院由此变成综合性大学。

• The creation of Niğde University in 1992 took over Selçuk's faculties in Niğde, the first of three territorial splits that eventually confined the university to Konya province.1992 年尼代大学成立，接管塞尔丘克大学在尼代的学院，这是三次地域拆分中的第一次，最终把该校的办学范围收缩到科尼亚省境内。

• Aksaray University followed in 2006 and Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University in 2007, each built around faculties and vocational schools that had belonged to Selçuk.阿克萨赖大学于 2006 年、卡拉曼奥卢·穆罕默德贝伊大学于 2007 年相继成立，两者都以原属塞尔丘克大学的学院与职业学校为基础组建。

• Those separations left Selçuk with a tighter geography but fewer campuses, and pushed it to concentrate investment on the Alaaddin Keykubat campus west of the city.几次拆分使塞尔丘克大学地域更集中、校区却更少，学校因此把投资集中到城西的阿拉丁·凯库巴德校区。

• A 2018 law creating 20 new universities in Turkey detached Selçuk's engineering and architecture faculties and its Technical Sciences Vocational College to form Konya Technical University.2018 年土耳其一次创设 20 所新大学的法案，把塞尔丘克大学的工程与建筑学院及技术科学职业学校划出，组建科尼亚技术大学。

• The split was the largest in the university's history, removing the engineering school that had grown out of the 1970 academy and leaving Selçuk as a university of medicine, law, letters, science, education, agriculture and theology.这是校史上最大的一次拆分，把 1970 年学院发展而来的工科整体剥离，塞尔丘克大学自此以医学、法学、文学、理学、教育学、农学与神学为主干。

• Konya's industrial rise as one of the Anatolian Tigers from the 1980s gave the university a local economy of small and medium manufacturers that absorbed its engineers, accountants and teachers.科尼亚自 1980 年代起以“安纳托利亚之虎”之名工业化，本地中小企业群为该校的工程师、会计师与教师提供了就业市场。

• By its 40th anniversary in 2015 the university had grown from 327 students to a city-sized institution, a trajectory repeated across Anatolia as provincial universities multiplied.到 2015 年建校四十周年时，该校已从 327 名学生长成一座“大学城”，这一轨迹与安纳托利亚各省大学激增的进程同步。

• The 2023 Times Higher Education ranking placed Selçuk 20th among Turkish universities, a domestic position the institution cites more readily than its world band.2023 年泰晤士高等教育排名把塞尔丘克大学列为土耳其第 20 位，校方引用这一国内位次的频率远高于其世界区间。

• The name honours the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum, whose capital Konya still holds the Mevlana museum, the Karatay madrasa and the Alaaddin mosque that anchor the university's civic identity.校名致敬罗姆塞尔柱苏丹国，其都城科尼亚至今保存梅夫拉纳博物馆、卡拉泰经学院与阿拉丁清真寺，这些遗产构成该校城市身份的锚点。

• The 2027 QS and THE bands place Selçuk in the 1201-1400 group, a position that reflects a research profile large in volume but modest in citation impact.2027 年 QS 与泰晤士高等教育都把该校放进 1201-1400 区间，这一位置对应的是体量可观而引用影响有限的科研画像。

• In 2026 the university remains the principal public employer of graduates in Konya, and its hospital, farms and schools make it a regional institution rather than a purely academic one.至 2026 年，该校仍是科尼亚吸纳毕业生最多的公立机构之一，医院、农场与附属学校使其兼具区域服务机构与学术机构的双重角色。

Academics

• The academic map covers medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, health sciences, law, political sciences, economics, business, education, letters, science, theology, agriculture, veterinary medicine, fine arts, sport sciences, tourism and communication.学科版图覆盖医学、牙学、药学、护理、健康科学、法学、政治学、经济学、商学、教育学、文学、理学、神学、农学、兽医学、美术、体育科学、旅游与传播。

• The Faculty of Medicine works with a 934-bed teaching hospital at Meram, one of the largest hospital complexes in central Anatolia and the clinical base for dentistry, pharmacy and nursing students.医学院在梅拉姆依托一座 934 张床位的教学医院，这是安纳托利亚中部最大的医院群之一，也是牙学、药学与护理学生的临床基地。

• The Faculty of Agriculture exploits the Konya plain, Turkey's principal wheat and sugar-beet district, with trial fields, greenhouses and machinery workshops that serve both teaching and provincial extension work.农学院立足科尼亚平原——土耳其最重要的小麦与甜菜产区，拥有试验田、温室与农机车间，既用于教学，也承担全省的农业推广。

• The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine runs a teaching hospital and livestock units, training veterinarians for a province whose sheep and dairy herds are among the largest in Turkey.兽医学院设教学医院与畜群单位，为绵羊与奶牛存栏量居土耳其前列的科尼亚省培养兽医。

• The Faculty of Theology descends from the Higher Islamic Institute of 1962 and teaches Quranic studies, hadith, Islamic law, the history of religions and religious education for state schools.神学院承袭 1962 年高等伊斯兰学院的学统，教授古兰学、圣训、伊斯兰法、宗教史与面向公立学校的宗教教育。

• Doctoral training is organised through institutes of health sciences, natural and applied sciences, social sciences, educational sciences and Turkic studies, with thesis work in university hospitals and field stations.博士培养由健康科学、自然科学与应用科学、社会科学、教育科学与突厥学等研究所组织，论文工作在医院与野外站完成。

• Undergraduates enter through the national ÖSYM examination, while international applicants are selected by the university's own foreign-student examination and Turkish-language proficiency tests.本科生经 ÖSYM 全国考试录取，国际申请者则参加该校自设的外国学生考试与土耳其语水平测试。

• Teaching is in Turkish, with a one-year English preparatory programme in selected departments and Erasmus mobility in medicine, engineering, economics and theology.教学语言为土耳其语，部分系所设一年制英语预科，医学、工程、经济学与神学均有伊拉斯谟交流项目。

• The university belongs to the Mevlana Exchange Programme that the Council of Higher Education launched in 2011 and named after Konya's Mevlana, exchanging students and staff with institutions across Asia and the Balkans.该校加入高等教育委员会 2011 年以科尼亚的梅夫拉纳命名推出的“梅夫拉纳交流计划”，与亚洲及巴尔干院校互派师生。

• Bibliometric databases record 38,829 works and 998,455 citations under the university's name, a volume driven by medicine, agriculture, veterinary science and engineering before the 2018 split.文献计量数据库在该校名下记录作品 38829 篇、被引 998455 次，这一体量主要由 2018 年拆分前的医学、农业、兽医与工程学科支撑。

• Research income comes from the national TÜBİTAK programmes, the university's own BAP fund and EU framework projects, with medical and agricultural teams the most frequent grant holders.科研经费来自土耳其 TÜBİTAK 计划、校内的 BAP 基金与欧盟框架项目，医学与农业团队获资助最为频繁。

• Continuing education is provided through application and research centres attached to the rectorate, which run courses for teachers, health workers and municipal staff in Konya.继续教育由挂靠校长办公室的应用与研究中心承担，面向科尼亚的教师、卫生人员与市政职员开设课程。

Campus

• The main Alaaddin Keykubat Campus lies in Selçuklu district west of central Konya and is named after the Seljuk sultan who reigned from 1220 to 1237 and made the city a capital of art and trade.主校区阿拉丁·凯库巴德位于科尼亚市中心以西的塞尔丘克卢区，校名取自 1220 至 1237 年在位的塞尔柱苏丹，他使科尼亚成为艺术与贸易之都。

• The campus is a self-contained quarter with faculties, the teaching hospital, dormitories, a shopping centre, sports fields and landscaped open space, large enough to need internal bus services.校区自成一片城区，内有学院、教学医院、宿舍、购物中心、运动场与绿地，面积大到需要内部公交接驳。

• The Gökkuşağı shopping centre on campus houses restaurants, bookstores, supermarkets and service outlets, and functions as the social crossroads of student life.校内的“彩虹”购物中心聚集餐厅、书店、超市与服务网点，是学生生活的社交十字路口。

Reputation

• QS placed Selçuk University in the 1201-1400 band of its 2027 World University Rankings, a shared interval rather than a single position, as the official table reports bands at this depth.QS 把塞尔丘克大学列入 2027 年世界大学排名 1201-1400 区间，这是并列区间而非单一的名次，因为官方榜单在这一段只公布区间。

• Times Higher Education returned the same 1201-1400 band for 2027, after ranking the university 20th in Turkey in its 2023 edition.泰晤士高等教育 2027 年给出同样的 1201-1400 区间，此前其 2023 年版曾把该校列为土耳其第 20 位。

• U.S. News placed it 1,589th in the 2026-27 Best Global Universities list, while the 2026 Academic Ranking of World Universities did not include it in the main table.U.S. News 在 2026-2027 年度全球最佳大学榜中把它排在第 1589 位，2026 年软科世界大学学术排名主榜则未收录该校。

• Within Turkey, METU's URAP ranking placed it 22nd and EduRank 16th in 2023, consistent with a university that is large, regionally anchored and strongest in applied fields.在土耳其国内，中东技术大学 URAP 排名 2023 年列其为第 22 位，EduRank 列第 16 位，这与一所体量大、扎根区域、以应用学科见长的大学相符。

• OpenAlex credits the university with 38,829 works and 998,455 citations, numbers that place it among the volume leaders of Anatolian universities but with citations per paper below the national elite.OpenAlex 记录该校 38829 篇作品与 998455 次被引，这使其位居安纳托利亚各校的产出前列，但篇均被引仍低于国内精英高校。

• Its medical faculty is the reference hospital for a catchment of several million people, and its agriculture and veterinary faculties advise growers and breeders across the Konya plain.其医学院是覆盖数百万人口地区的转诊医院，农业与兽医学院则为科尼亚平原的种植户与养殖户提供技术咨询。

• The university's strongest international visibility comes from theology and Islamic studies, where it hosts conferences on the Ottoman and Seljuk religious heritage and receives students from the Balkans, Central Asia and Africa.该校国际能见度最高的领域是神学与伊斯兰研究，常举办奥斯曼与塞尔柱宗教遗产会议，并接收巴尔干、中亚与非洲学生。

• Employer reputation is local rather than global: Konya's machinery, food-processing and textile firms recruit its graduates, and the province's public schools and hospitals are staffed largely from its cohorts.雇主声誉偏于本地而非全球：科尼亚的机械、食品加工与纺织企业招聘其毕业生，全省公立学校与医院的人员也大多出自该校。

• The 2018 loss of engineering to Konya Technical University removed a large share of its high-citation output, and the post-2018 profile is visibly more medical and agricultural.2018 年工科划归科尼亚技术大学，带走了相当一部分高被引产出，2018 年之后的科研画像明显更偏医学与农业。

• No Nobel laureate, Turing Award winner or Fields medallist is counted among its faculty or alumni, a fact that keeps it outside the research-elite tier in which Turkish flagships such as Boğaziçi and METU are discussed.该校教师与校友中尚无诺贝尔奖、图灵奖或菲尔兹奖得主，这使它处于土耳其研究精英层之外——人们谈论该国旗舰时通常提的是海峡大学与中东技术大学。

Student life

• Each academic year opens with a Welcome Festival that introduces faculties, clubs and city services to first-year students arriving from across Anatolia.每学年以“欢迎节”开幕，向来自安纳托利亚各地的新生介绍学院、社团与城市服务。

• Every May the university holds a six-day Spring Festival timed to the 19 May Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day, with concerts, stalls and open-air performances on campus.每年五月举办为期六天的春季文化节，与 5 月 19 日“阿塔图尔克纪念日暨青年和体育节”同期，校园里有音乐会、摊位与露天演出。

• Its sports infrastructure, with an Olympic pool, three gymnasiums and roofed football stands, makes the campus a venue for provincial and inter-university competitions.奥运泳池、三座体育馆与带顶棚的足球看台，使校区成为省级与校际赛事的举办地。

• Konya's religious calendar shapes student life: the Şeb-i Arus ceremonies on 17 December mark Mevlana's death and draw volunteers from the university's theology and music faculties.科尼亚的宗教日历塑造着学生生活：12 月 17 日的“谢卜-伊·阿鲁斯”仪式纪念梅夫拉纳逝世，神学院与音乐学院的学生常去做志愿者。

• The Gökkuşağı centre and the dormitory courtyards function as the everyday social spaces, since the campus lies several kilometres from the cafés and cinemas of the historic centre.“彩虹”中心与宿舍庭院是日常社交空间，因为校区距历史城区的咖啡馆与影院尚有数公里。

• Selçuk University has not adopted a Latin-style motto like older Anatolian universities, and its public identity rests instead on the Seljuk name and on Konya's Mevlana heritage.塞尔丘克大学未像历史更久的安纳托利亚高校那样采用拉丁文校训，其公共身份更多依托“塞尔柱”之名与科尼亚的梅夫拉纳遗产。
