History

Arel College in Istanbul was founded in 1990 and in the course of the following years its educational spectrum was extended with the Arel Pre-School, Arel Primary School, Arel Anatolian High School, Arel Science High School and Arel Sports and Culture Complex. After 26 years the institute sought to further expand its activities to the university level.

With the help of the Kemal Goezükara Education and Culture Foundation it was possible to establish the Istanbul Arel University that was officially recognised by statute No. 2809/5656-Appendix. 76 of the 9th of May 2007, published in the official gazette No. 26526, of the 18th of May 2007.

Since 2018 Oezguer Goezuekara (the son of the benefactor) has been chairman of the Board of Trustees of Arel University. He is being helped by Hilmi Ibar to build an international network. In December 2018 an agreement with the DHBW Loerrach was successfully established with the goal of establishing student and professorial exchanges and common educational projects.

The campus of the university is located in Büyükçekmece, Istanbul.
