History

Şanlıurfa is the homecity of Harran University. It is one of the oldest settlements in the world, with its history going back to 11,000 years before now.[2]

The first higher education unit established in Sanliurfa is the Sanliurfa Vocational School (1976). Then the Faculty of Agriculture (1978), and the Department of Civil Engineering (1984) both affiliated to Dicle University were founded. Following these schools, the Faculty of Theology was formed in Sanliurfa by Gaziantep University in 1988.

In 1992, as a result of a move to form 23 new universities, Harran University was founded (July 9, 1992; Law No.: 3837) and the schools mentioned above were affiliated to this institution together with two faculties (Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Faculty of Medicine), one vocational school (Sanliurfa Vocational School o Health Services), and three institutes (Institute of Natural and Applied Sciences, Institute of Health Sciences, Institute of Social Sciences).

In 1994, new vocational school (the vocational schools of Siverek, Hilvan, Suruc, Birecik, Viransehir and Bozova) and faculties (Veterinary Medicine, Economic and Administrative Sciences) were joined to the system. Later, the vocational schools of Akcakale (1995), Ceylanpinar (1995) and Kahta (1997) were established. The College of Health was formed in 1997.

A new vision to expand the educational programs was put into action in 2007, following which the Faculty of Education and Faculty of Fine Arts were chartered along with te College of Tourism and Hotel Management.
