Dicle Üniversitesi

Dicle University is a public university founded in 1973 in Diyarbakir Province, Turkey. Its roots trace back to the Diyarbakir Faculty of Medicine, established in 1966 as an affiliate of Ankara University's Faculty of Medicine. The institution operated under Ankara University until 1969, and the founding of the Faculty of Science in 1973 completed the establishment of the university — originally named Diyarbakir University before being renamed Dicle University by law in 1982.

Dicle University today provides higher education to more than 30,000 students through 17 faculties — including the Ataturk Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Dentistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Faculty of Letters, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Faculty of Theology, Faculty of Communications, Faculty of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Arts and Design, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Agriculture, and the Ziya Gokalp Faculty of Education — as well as 4 institutes, 3 colleges, 1 state conservatory, and 12 vocational schools.
